ENTERPRISE PATIENT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:08): Is the minister suggesting that originally the EPAS was not to be rolled out to all hospitals in South Australia? It was always only to be to a small number of metropolitan and a number of country hospitals?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:08): The Leader of the Opposition calls every metropolitan hospital a small number of hospitals. I am sorry, but every metropolitan hospital is every metropolitan hospital and, since this project was first approved by the cabinet, when it went to cabinet, when the former minister for health took the project to cabinet, and the funding for it was agreed to by cabinet, it was on the present scope.

The SPEAKER: A second supplementary.
