House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Question Time Royal Adelaide Hospital Royal Adelaide Hospital Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Leader of the Opposition Royal Adelaide Hospital Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:08): My question is to the Minister for Health. Can the minister provide some detail to the parliament as to the reasons for this further delay to the technical completion of the Royal Adelaide Hospital? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Royal Adelaide Hospital The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:08): Simply because it has taken the builder longer than they had anticipated. That is the reason. There are any number of reasons, and I guess you would have to direct that to the builder. But, put simply, they have not been able to meet the schedule of works that they had originally anticipated, so it is going to be late. Members interjecting: The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I should be quite clear: in terms of any responsibility for it, my very strong advice is that the government is not exposed in any way in terms of reasons for the delay, and we would have no liability. The liability would sit entirely with SAHP. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The members for Finniss and Mount Gambier are called to order. The member for Colton.
