          <by role="member" id="1807">Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:20):</by>  It looks like we are going to get some questions in today; let's hope we get some answers. My question is to the Minister for Health. Can the minister update the house on the investigations into the missing USB which leaked confidential costings and details on the proposed Royal Adelaide Hospital?</text>

HILL:</by>  I am pleased he referred to it as a USB and not as a UBD, as somebody close to the government referred to it just the other day—naming no names. The USB stick was investigated absolutely thoroughly. I have reported to the house before: the most likely outcome was that the thing was lost and destroyed.</text>

        <text id="20100916131c59273ac9495ba0000592">As I have said before, all of the members of the consortia that are tendering for the Royal Adelaide Hospital project have signed appropriate guarantees in relation to it. There is absolutely no evidence that it has been used in any way which could be detrimental to the cause. It has been thoroughly investigated but, if the honourable member has specific issues that he would still like some clarification on, I would be happy to follow it up for him.</text>
