          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:03): </by> My question is to the Minister for Health. How does the minister propose to move equipment, furniture, staff and patients from the Royal Adelaide Hospital to the proposed rail yard hospital at zero cost? Written evidence was provided to the Budget and Finance Committee by Dr Tony Sherbon from the Department of Health showing costings prepared by the government which declare a zero allocation of dollars to transition costs to the rail yard hospital.</text>

HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:04): </by> This is a devastating question. We should not build a new hospital and we should keep an inefficient old hospital which is not working because there is not an answer to how we will shift the patients down the road. There is a lot of expertise in the health system, but, with some proper thinking, we will be able to work it out. I do seem to recall that, when the Queen Victoria hospital was closed, we managed to shift the patients, the equipment, the doctors and the nurses down the road to the Women's and Children's Hospital appropriately. Look, I do not know how much it will cost. I am happy to take that part of the question on notice, but really, get serious, Vickie.</text>
