SA Ambulance Service

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:29): What commitment have you made to the families to keep them up to date on the progress against the recommendations from the report in the Coroner's investigation?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:30): With all due respect, I think the member is conflating the individual case investigations and the systemic review. Families have been engaged in relation to the individual case investigations. The systemic review isn't a revisiting of that investigation, it's an attempt to look at the systemic issues that are highlighted by an overview of the cases.

Associate Professor Hibbert highlighted a whole range of issues, things like clinical supervision, assessment of risk, the maintenance of what I would call clinical observation tools: a very broad ranging set of observations, which I think will be very useful for the health service moving forward to support the maintenance and enhancement of quality and safety.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a further supplementary?
