Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Question Time Pathology Services Pathology Services The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Pathology Services The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding pathology. 1.	How does the minister explain that a sample taken from a convicted murderer became contaminated with methylamphetamine at SA Pathology, which resulted in an alleged parole breach and major distress to the family of the murder victim? 2.	After refusing to apologise to victims of ambulance ramping and hospital overcrowding yesterday, will the minister apologise to the family of the murder victim over this bungle? Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:25): I thank the honourable member for his question, in spite of the fact that, yet again, he is defying you by continuing to insert comment, and not only comment but comment from a previous day. In relation to the matter, I am advised that SA Pathology issued a false positive result on a urine sample received from the Department for Correctional Services. Once the false positive result was identified, SA Pathology immediately sent an amended report to the Department for Correctional Services to advise of the findings. SA Pathology is currently retesting all samples that were processed at the same time as the sample in question to verify their results. A formal review to establish the cause of the false positive result is underway. Of course, the government regrets any impacts on people as a result of the false positive.
