The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (14:43): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: There's not much of an explanation here, but:

1. Now that the minister has had two weeks, has he read KordaMentha's tranche 2 savings plan for our central hospitals?

2. Can the minister rule out any additional redundancies for frontline staff under the plan?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:43): It seems to remind me of a claim that was being peddled amongst the media that KordaMentha had been re-engaged. This document, as I understand it, is work that was related to CALHN's work with KordaMentha under the original contract. In that regard it's an internal working document of CALHN, and I have not read it.
