          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING:</by>  Last Saturday, 20<sup></sup>February, a worker tragically died as a result of a workplace accident at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital site. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr Stephen Wyatt at this distressing time. I also extend my thoughts to all other workers at the site who have lost a friend and colleague. SafeWork SA and SA Police are currently investigating this incident, and I am advised that SafeWork SA is providing support to Mr Wyatt's family through the investigation process.</text>
        <text id="20160223209321c76cba4e84b0000334">The government has spoken to SA Health Partnership, the CFMEU and the CEPU to offer whatever support is required. Safety must always be paramount at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, both for the patients who will move into the hospital and for the workers who are building it. Once again, on behalf of the government, I offer my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Stephen Wyatt.</text>
