Wallaroo Hospital

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (15:06): Supplementary: given the minister's response about the centre at Wallaroo, why then are people who do have private health, who live within the Copper Coast region, unable to use the facility at the Wallaroo Hospital, and who surely should have the capacity to do so?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:06): I will find out. Normally, we're quite keen to have private patients in public hospitals because it provides a revenue stream. I just need to find out why that's the case.
