Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:45): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier agree with the health minister, who has just told the other place that we will have some challenges meeting some supply issues, and what is his plan to address those challenges?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:45): I haven't seen those comments. Obviously, the Minister for Health and Wellbeing has a far greater detailed understanding of the procurement issues and challenges which exist within SA Health.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Badcoe is warned. The member for Playford, he has been doing it all day.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: And I have every confidence—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Yes, members on my left, we have the question. Members expect me to hear the answer.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I have every confidence that we will work through each and every one of those issues. As I have said, we have been working in a very proactive way to make sure that we can be as prepared as possible, and that's precisely what we are doing.

Mr Picton interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kaurna is warned.
