Lyell McEwin Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Is the minister aware of the public statement made by the Australian Medical Association last week which states:

The Lyell McEwin was on bypass for 5 hours the day we visited and we are told that this is not at all unusual.

Is it unusual for this hospital's emergency department to be on bypass? Yes or no?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:31): If it was I'd have to check with the department and come back to the house.
