HAMPSTEAD REHABILITATION CENTRE

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:25): I have a supplementary question. Given the government's commitment to maintain the Hampstead recreation facilities, including the pool, open for community use, why did the government take a different approach and not assist the Balyana pool to remain open? It is also used by the disabled community.

The SPEAKER: That is not a supplementary, but I will give it to you as your next question.

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) (14:25): My understanding is that it was not a decision the government made. The pool is actually run by an NGO, which made the decision to close the pool.
