SA Health

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:07): Supplementary: does the minister accept that there is a toxic culture in SA Health underpinning everything that he has just outlined?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:07): I believe that the culture in SA Health is toxic and we do need to change it. That's why we are leading fundamental change, particularly through devolution. We are expecting boards to strengthen the governance, particularly through the risk and audit committees. One of the issues highlighted in the ICAC report was compliance with policies: that is the bread and butter of boards' risk and audit committees.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, a supplementary?
