BONAROS (14:28):</by>  Do you accept the grave concerns raised by Commissioner Lander that not only clinical care is being severely impacted but public servants are escaping prosecution for corruption within SA Health and that that has continued to occur under your watch?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28):</by>  Of course I am concerned if the ICAC commissioner has the view that poor record keeping could well mask corruption. It will be part of this task force work, part of the government's response to this report, to improve record management.</text>
        <text id="20191203c9c78dc1dd9048d8b0000066">We have done a lot in recent times. For example, EPAS, which is mentioned in the report, was a disaster that was let roll on and on by the former government. As soon as we were elected, we paused it and had an independent review. There was a fundamental recast of the program, and it has been successfully rolled out at Mount Gambier and at Royal Adelaide. I presume the implementation is ongoing, but what I'm saying is, up to this point, the implementation has been successful.</text>

        <text id="20191203c9c78dc1dd9048d8b0000067">I just highlight the point that, whether it's EPLIS, whether it's EPAS, the former Labor government made botched attempts to improve our record management system. This government is giving management the tools to improve their oversight. Better record management will lead to better capacity for the ICAC commissioner to identify corruption when it occurs.</text>
