Question Time

Cardiology Services

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:40): My question is to the Premier. Premier, why were there no interventional cardiologists rostered on at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital between 8am and 6pm on Thursday 10 October, which is supposedly a 24/7 service?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Wright is on two warnings.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:41): That is a very specific question. I don't have the answer with me about why—

Mr Picton: I didn't ask you; I asked the Premier.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: That is a very specific question. I don't have the information with me to be able to explain exactly who was rostered on or not rostered on at that very specific time on that day, but I would be very happy to take that question on notice, get an answer from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing and bring it back for the shadow minister.
