Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Are there risks associated with taking occupancy of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital posed by the failure of the government to deliver the EPAS project on time?

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) (14:25): I just want to say in respect of EPAS that I think that is a question that needs to be taken on notice. The reason I say that is that there is a lot of detailed information around the whole EPAS story. My understanding is that it is anticipated EPAS will be part and parcel of the functional operation of the new place when the doors open, but we will take that one on notice and provide a fuller answer.
