House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Repatriation General Hospital Repatriation General Hospital Dr McFETRIDGE House of Assembly Morphett Repatriation General Hospital Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:49): My question is to the Minister for Health. Does the government's invitation to private and non-government organisations to 'identify future uses of the Repatriation General Hospital site' through a registration of interest or expression of interest process allow for the possibility of SA Health-funded services other than Ward 17 continuing to be provided at the Daw Park site? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Repatriation General Hospital The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:50): No; the only services we would envisage remaining at Daw Park would be the possibility of Ward 17 and the orthotic service, which is currently there. Having said that, though, if an organisation wanted to partner with us and deliver one of our current programs that we have—we spend about $800 million or $900 million every year on contracts with NGOs to deliver services on the part of SA Health. If, for example, an NGO came to us and said they wanted to deliver one of those currently funded programs on the Daw Park site, of course that would be something we would consider; but, generally speaking, in terms of SA Health employees working on the site, they will be the only two things that we would expect to be on the site.
