Women's and Children's Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Previously in question time, the minister has indicated to the house that the government, if it does proceed with the relocation of the Women's and Children's Hospital, would look carefully at the planned upgrades for the existing hospital in North Adelaide. Can the minister outline to the house whether all of those planned upgrades are going to continue, and what the total amount is going to be spent at that hospital given that the government has a plan to stick the wrecking ball through it by 2023?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:33): No, they are not all going forward. We've had a good look and there was certain planned work that was going to happen that's now no longer going to proceed given we now have a use-by date on that hospital. I haven't got the exact figures, but I'm happy to get back to the house an answer.

The SPEAKER: A further supplementary?

Mr MARSHALL: Yes, thank you, sir.
