House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Marjorie Jackson-Nelson Hospital MARJORIE JACKSON-NELSON HOSPITAL Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Leader of the Opposition MARJORIE JACKSON-NELSON HOSPITAL Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Health. As the Marjorie Jackson-Nelson Hospital model of care that was published yesterday is the same as the draft published in August, what was the point in spending thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money on a two-page advertisement in the Sunday Mail on 2 November to consult with the public? The Hon. J.D. HILL House of Assembly Kaurna Minister for Health Minister for the Southern Suburbs Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts MARJORIE JACKSON-NELSON HOSPITAL The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:42): It is delightful that the Deputy Leader of the Opposition attacks consultation with the public of South Australia. She obviously does not care what the people in this state think— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. J.D. HILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.D. HILL: I know, and I think she secretly knows, that the majority of people in this state actually support building a state-of-the-art, brand new hospital on North Terrace. They do not want to see a clapped-out, rundown bunch of old buildings constructed in the 1950s and 1960s remodelled so that people will still have to share toilets and wards. We want to build a brand new, state-of-the-art hospital with single rooms—their own bathrooms and toilets associated with those single rooms—with a lovely view over the River Torrens. That is the model of care on which we are building and we want to know what the public think, and that is why we put that out for consultation.
