Integrity Care SA

Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (15:06): My question is for the Premier. Premier, what due diligence was undertaken into Integrity Care as a service provider before Ann Marie Smith was transitioned into its care by the department?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:06): Of course, that would be a very good question for the member to ask some of her own colleagues because Ann Marie Smith was provided with services under the previous government. Ann Marie Smith was a South Australian government client for an extended period of time under the previous government. The previous government did, in my understanding, engage Integrity Care to provide that service, so it is—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: We had community visitors.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —a question that the member could direct to members on her side.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Obviously, this client was transitioned months after we came to government over to the NDIA, and of course under the NDIA arrangements the main area of auditing and safeguarding comes under that quality and safeguarding commission, which is a federal agency.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: You handed her over without checking.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is warned. The member for Hurtle Vale has one and then the member for Heysen.
