ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:43): My question is, again, to the Minister for Health. When the new Royal Adelaide Hospital is fully operational—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I cannot hear the member's question. Member for Morphett, who was your question to?

Dr McFETRIDGE: The Minister for Health. When the new Royal Adelaide Hospital is fully operational what services will remain at the existing Royal Adelaide Hospital site?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:44): When the new RAH is fully operational there will not be an existing RAH, there will be buildings on that site. We will go through a process with the three universities, which have all expressed an interest in some of the buildings, as to what might happen.

Mrs Redmond interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition!

The Hon. J.D. HILL: The dental school, if you take a broader sense of what the site is. SA Pathology may or may not stay there, depending on what it wants to do in the future. I am not aware of any particular health services. If you are getting to the point, 'Will we still run clinics on that site?', I very much doubt it, but I am not aware of any suggestions that we would do that. If the member has something in particular he wants to ask me, I am happy to try to address it, but I don't believe they would be running any of the services from there.
