          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20):</by>  Supplementary: is the minister aware that, during those redevelopments, there is in fact the repurposing of many of the inpatient acute beds at the same time; and, in fact, there are 62 beds that are going to be repurposed at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and 32 beds that are going to be repurposed at the Modbury Hospital, leading to a net loss of 94 general inpatient beds at exactly the same time that he is going to have to be finding an additional 340 inpatient beds displaced from the Royal Adelaide Hospital?</text>

SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:20):</by>  It is not that difficult to find alternative spaces to put beds. The issue with beds is actually the cost of staffing those beds. We can accommodate those beds elsewhere, and I do not expect that to be a particular problem with the transition, but I am more than happy to check with my department and get back to the Leader of the Opposition with a report.</text>
