CENTRAL NORTHERN ADELAIDE HEALTH SERVICE

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:40): My question is again to the Minister for Health. Has the minister received any advice regarding the Central Northern Adelaide Health Service that for the 2009-10 financial year it is already in deficit of over $100 million, and it is not even Christmas?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:40): I would find that hard to believe. For the first three months of the year it is unlikely that it would be that far in deficit. I certainly have not received advice to that end.
