Transforming Health

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): How does the minister explain the fact that 19 out of 23 emergency department doctors at Lyell McEwin Hospital have signed a letter opposing the Transforming Health changes put forward by the government?

Ms Sanderson interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Adelaide is warned.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:23): All I have seen is an unsigned letter purporting to come from emergency department doctors but, obviously, we are committed to working through these issues. As I have said, of course there are always going to be differences of opinion but I am confident that, with these changes, any concerns that clinicians have about the process we are going through will be overcome.
