Coronavirus

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:36): Supplementary: it appears that the minister didn't hear the question. The question related to: can the minister assure South Australians that all necessary medicines, supplies and equipment have been stockpiled to ensure our health system in the event of a coronavirus pandemic? Do we have a stockpile of medicines, supplies and equipment sufficient?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:37): I assure the council that Associate Professor Nicola Spurrier, the Chief Public Health Officer, is working both within South Australia and beyond South Australia to ensure that we have all the supplies we need for all the scenarios we face. That's not to say we don't have challenges, but we also don't need a political party that keeps playing political games and playing the politics of fear.
