Question Time

Hospital Supplies

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:23): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Will the minister publicly release the full findings of the pillow and linen audit in our state's hospitals? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: There have been dozens of reports of a pillow shortage right across our state's hospitals, including two cases where a 93-year-old man went almost a day without a pillow at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and a father was forced to drive home at midnight to collect a pillow for his sick son who was about to have surgery at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:23): All of those documents were released almost a month ago.
