Health Budget

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): Supplementary, sir: can the Deputy Premier in fact rule out bed closures in South Australia over and above what has already been identified in Transforming Health?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:13): In the 23 hours or so that I have come to have the opportunity of mastering the health portfolio, I don't believe I have got to the position where I can confidently answer that question, and I will take it on notice.
