Question Time

Viral Respiratory Disease Pandemic response Plan

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding public health.

1. Is the minister familiar with the SA Health Viral Respiratory Disease Pandemic Response Plan?

2. Who is responsible for implementing the plan?

3. Which parts of this plan are being implemented by the minster's agencies?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:29): The South Australian Viral Respiratory Disease Pandemic Response Plan (including influenza, COVID-19, SARS and MERS) was endorsed in March 2020. I presume that it is under the direct oversight of the chief executive.
