CENTRAL NORTHERN ADELAIDE HEALTH SERVICE

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is again for the Minister for Health. Why did the minister or his department not detect the $11 million major accounting error which showed that the Central Northern Adelaide Health Service had $11 million more revenue than it was supposed to for the 2008-09 financial year?

In the Budget and Finance Committee on Monday 12 October 2009, Tony Sherbon, Chief Executive of the Department of Health, explained that part of the reason why the Department of Health has a significant $120 million overspend was that 'there was a deterioration in the final month of the financial year that was not expected by the Department of Health'. He then went on to say, 'The Central Northern Adelaide Health Service informed us of an accounting error that meant they had provided for what was expected to be $11 million worth of revenue.'

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:23): I think the question was: why didn't the department or the minister detect this error? Well, the reality is they did, and when they did, it was reported.
