ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

147 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (27 July 2010).

1. What are the final results of site and soil contamination reports and how will these results affect the future plans for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital?

2. What is the final expected cost of soil and site remediation at the site of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. The results of the site testing have been given to the two consortia bidding to build the new Royal Adelaide Hospital and are part of that confidential bidding process.

2. The cost of remediation of the railyards site has always been included within the total figure for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital project.
