Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Coronavirus Coronavirus The Hon. F. PANGALLO Legislative Council Coronavirus The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:19): Supplementary: in relation to that response, will the rapid response team be in conflict with any existing contracts with private contractor Clinpath? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Coronavirus The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:19): This government has demonstrated its willingness to partner with public and private providers, and we have done that in the Patient Services Panel, we have done that in the private hospital partnerships in responding to COVID-19. We are committed to partnering with a whole range of entities in terms of delivering the best possible health response. The nature of markets is that if there's more than one person in the market that doesn't mean conflict. More than one person in the market means you haven't got a monopoly; you might have something less. There are a number of private providers in the market. The government will continue to work with SA Pathology, Clinpath and other pathology providers to maximise our response to COVID-19.
