HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (15:07): Supplementary, if I may. Is the minister then saying there are no unreconciled accounts for the current year?

The SPEAKER: It is the end of question time; however, minister.

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts) (15:07): I would refer the member to what I said, that in the normal process of reconciliation the accounts are being reconciled as they should be—which is on a monthly basis, as I understand it—and there are no unreconciled accounts beyond what would normally be done in the bookkeeping sense. Last year—the point I was making—there were a lot of unreconciled accounts because we were transferring from a range of systems to one new system and it has taken time to work out where all of those accounts should be placed, but that is still going on. There is nothing improper about that process; it is just moving to a new system.
