          <by role="member" id="5413">The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:01):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding health. Now that the minister has had 24 hours to be briefed, what exactly is being done to resolve the differences between SA Country Health and medical staff at the Maitland Hospital? Exactly how many country hospitals do not have a permanent doctor and rely entirely on a locum?</text>
