Health Active Directory ID

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:24): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. How many frontline health workers are unable to work in public hospitals due to delays in obtaining a Health Active Directory ID? With your leave, sir, and that of house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: We have anecdotal reports that there are hundreds of frontline health workers wanting to work in public hospitals to cover huge chunks of unfilled shifts, yet they are unable to because of bureaucratic delays in providing them with these IDs.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I observe before the question is answered that the standing order does require that facts be introduced. There was not a point of order raised, but I emphasise the standing order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The exchange between the member for Florey and the member for Chaffey will cease, and the member for Frome will not contribute to that exchange. The minister has the call.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:25): Sir, you will forgive me for wanting to do a little checking of these anecdotal reports that the member for Schubert offers up. We will certainly check the facts and provide an answer in due course.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Schubert is on three warnings, and I draw her attention to standing order 97 in relation to argument, opinion and introduction of facts by leave.
