          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:22):</by>  Clinical outcomes from accreditation being threatened—I would suggest there wouldn't be. Accreditation is about whether or not a hospital is accredited to operate at a certain level that's relevant in terms of its engagement with its funding bodies. But accreditation per se doesn't have an impact on clinical outcomes. Certainly, meeting the standards within accreditation of course gives you the assurance that clinical practices are well based in a clinical governance sense.</text>
