The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:46): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: —when the opposite benches are willing to quiet down.

The PRESIDENT: Go ahead, the Hon. Ms Scriven.

The Hon. T.J. Stephens: So you're going to lecture us on behaviour, are you? That's a bit rich.

The PRESIDENT: Have you finished giving direction, the Hon. Mr Stephens? That's my job.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, let us not get into bad habits. The Hon. Ms Scriven, you have the call.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Will the minister guarantee the privacy of patients, the confidentiality of whistleblower complaints and clinician disciplinary procedures to be protected from interstate corporate liquidators?

The Hon. T.J. Stephens: You asked that question yesterday and were told exactly what was going on.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Stephens, show some respect for your minister. Minister, you have the call.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:46): I'm not aware of any corporate liquidators being engaged by SA Health, but let's put it this way: I expect that anybody who is exercising delegations under the Health Care Act or public service legislation complies with all of their duties.
