MARJORIE JACKSON-NELSON HOSPITAL

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:10): My question is to the Minister for Health. Is the person in charge of the planning for the Marjorie Jackson-Nelson Hospital the same person who headed the team that wrote the Country Health Care Plan released in June this year?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Ms CHAPMAN: On 26 October 2008, the Under Treasurer named Mr David Panter as head of the planning team for the Marjorie Jackson-Nelson Hospital. He said:

Quite a good team has been put together. David Panter is heading it.

Mr Panter is also the Executive Director of the Statewide Service Strategy Department.

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:11): The Deputy Leader of the Opposition has sunk to a new low today in asking that question and naming a public servant who is doing his duty. Let me say to the house, to the public and to the world: I am responsible for the country health plan—its successes and failures—and I accept all that responsibility.
