COUNTRY HOSPITALS

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (14:48): By way of supplementary question, will the Minister for Health and Ageing confirm whether it is 1 August or 30 August, and what is the closest possible date he can define when the services will be available?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts) (14:48): I do not want to be picky, but 'confirming' indicates that I gave an indication as to whether it would be the 1^st or the 30^th—I did not. I said that in August I will confirm that the advice is that they would hope to have it back on line within August.
