The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Final supplementary in relation to this particular answer: is the minister informing the chamber that he didn't think a cluster of nine deaths was worthy of letting the South Australian people know and that they ought to have been able to find out because 13 departmental people knew?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:46): I will pose that question another way: did minister Snelling, in 2015, think that it was worth highlighting 28 adverse outcomes? Or perhaps to express it another way: does the council consider that the former Labor government should have advised the South Australian community about the 63 adverse clinical outcomes that occurred between 2014 and 2017?
