Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): My question is again to the Minister for Health. How many patients needed to receive manual respiratory ventilation as a result of the statewide blackout yesterday?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:17): There were 17 patients who were transferred from the ICU at Flinders Medical Centre to Flinders Private. They all would have been a combination of manual and battery ventilation. That is standard practice when intensive care patients are being transferred.
