SA Health, ICAC Report

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:04): Does the minister now accept, after referring to the letter from the AMA prior to that election, that the AMA would have had no idea of the Pandora's box that has been uncovered, and will he now consult with them in the event they may have changed their mind and their view?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:05): I thank the member for his question. To be frank, I am already relying on recent statements. Yesterday, the AMA state president said:

The ICAC report basically sets out the problems we have been pointing out for the last few decades. These are historical problems and problems which need to be fixed and we are starting to see the seeds of change over time.

I suspect that the honourable President of the AMA was including in that the reforms that we are doing to board governanceā€”board governance reform that you are backing Labor to sabotage. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
