HEALTH DEPARTMENT

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (24 November 2011) (First Session).

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. The reconciling of data is a process issue within SA Health and is excluded from both the IBM and Oracle contracts, which are summarised below.

The contract with Oracle is for the provision of program licences only. SA Health was responsible for the installation of the software and therefore there are no penalties associated with installation.

IBM were contracted to install and implement the software and they were contracted to a warranty period of two month-end processing cycles. IBM were responsible for correcting all Severity 1 and 2 defaults that occurred during these processing cycles and were attributable to IBM, which has been completed. This excludes the quality of data converted from SA Health's legacy financial systems.
