SA Liberal leader David Speirs slams government for hospital code yellow 'disaster', cancelled elective surgeries
ABCIn short: The SA opposition leader has slammed Labor for failing to ensure patients are receiving top quality healthcare after a system-wide internal emergency. South Australia's opposition leader says "people will die" because of the state government's alleged mismanagement of the public health system and failure to prepare the state for winter. Liberal leader David Speirs said Premier Peter Malinauskas had failed to ensure South Australians were receiving top quality healthcare after a system-wide code yellow — or internal emergency — was declared on Thursday afternoon. "He should retract that immediately, Dr Lawrence is an outstanding public servant … and for David Speirs to say that I think it's completely gutless for him to attack a public servant," Mr Picton said. Mr Picton said the government was "absolutely focused" on investing in the SA health system.
