My question is to the Minister for Health. Who, specifically, has the minister spoken to amongst the doctors from the medical staff society and SASMOA at the Women's and Children's Hospital regarding their serious concerns? Will the minister immediately put on hold more front-line clinician cuts at the Women's and Children's Hospital, following serious concerns raised by 215 doctors?</text>

WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:23):</by>  In terms of the detail of the people who I have met with, I would need to take that on notice. I don't think Ms Mulholland would mind if I name her in parliament and suggest that she was one of the people. In particular, on 28 January, I met with a range of clinicians, who included members of the staff society and, I presume, members of SASMOA. We discussed not only the new Women's and Children's Hospital, but also some of the existing service challenges and opportunities.</text>
