Mount Pleasant District Hospital

Mr GOLDSWORTHY (Kavel) (14:59): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I know they have all been waiting for this.

The SPEAKER: I have been.

Mr GOLDSWORTHY: My question is to the Minister for Health. Can the minister advise when I might expect a reply to a letter I wrote to him on 11 November last year concerning aged-care bed allocations at the Mount Pleasant District Hospital? Follow-ups were made on 3 March and 4 April this year.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I think we have got the idea.

Mr GOLDSWORTHY: Still no response received to date, Mr Speaker.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:00): Well, the member for Kavel has got me there. We always try to answer correspondence from members of parliament as quickly as we can.

Ms Bedford interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Florey is warned.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I don't have the information on me as to the tardiness in the reply, but I shall take it up immediately with my office and find out where that correspondence is at.
