          <by role="member" id="535">The Hon. J.D. HILL: </by> As the member would know, the main source of services for women in the centre of Adelaide is, of course, the Women's and Children's Hospital, which is a very fine institution and which was created, in fact, I think, by bringing together two other hospitals during the term of the former government.</text>
        <text id="2011040595897f7cce824ebab0000475">It is a very important service which provides the major services to women in our city. What other services are then provided in other hospitals, of course, is a matter that clinicians and hospital administrators determine. I am happy to get advice for the member, as I said, about this issue, but I can assure her, and I can assure all women, that women will continue to be given outstanding service at our leading women's hospital, which is the Women's and Children's Hospital.</text>
