Noarlunga Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): Is the minister saying that it is highly unlikely but not impossible that the emergency department will not be either closed or scaled down?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:11): I am saying it is highly unlikely what the Leader of the Opposition alleged, that is, that we would operate the emergency department at the Noarlunga Hospital on a Monday to Friday nine to five basis.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary, leader.
