Royal Adelaide Hospital Blackout

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): Further supplementary arising from the original answer: does the minister agree with then opposition leader Steven Marshall's comments in relation to a blackout in 2018, and I quote:

Providing a decent meal and keeping the lights on, surely are the easiest things that a Government needs to provide in a complex hospital and Labor can’t even get this right. They’ve put our patients in danger; they are no longer worthy to remain in Government.

Does the minister agree with his leader's statement back then? And it is exactly what has happened to him; does he agree?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:21): This government will continue to support hospital management in undertaking routine generator testing.

The PRESIDENT: One more supplementary on this one.
