ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (31 October 2012).

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs): I understand that there is no net finance lease liability for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital for 2012-13. Recognition of the finance lease liability and related repayments for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital does not occur until the construction is complete and certified as fit for purpose (commercial acceptance).
