          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:06):</by>  It is no secret that we will be relocating cardiology to two places: firstly, to the Royal Adelaide Hospital and, secondly, to the Lyell McEwin Hospital. It is very, very important that we beef up cardiology services at the Lyell McEwin Hospital. It is essential that the Lyell McEwin Hospital has that second cath lab for patient safety reasons.</text>
        <text id="2016052623494cd47780445d90000482">I understand the chief executive of central Adelaide has been speaking to clinicians about the timing of those moves, and if she believes and the clinicians believe that it can be safely done sooner rather than later then I am all for it and certainly support her in doing that.</text>
