Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is to the Minister for Health. Did the CEO of SA Health mislead the select committee on Transforming Health a fortnight ago when he said he was not aware of issues with accommodation of clinical research at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital? A report commissioned by SA Health into the accommodation requirements of research and clinical trials at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital was received on 7 May this year but the CEO of SA Health denied any knowledge of the issue only two weeks ago.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:12): I know to be very careful about allegations the Leader of the Opposition makes in this place about things that have been or have not been said, but, no, I don't believe—he certainly would not have knowingly misled the committee.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader is warned for the second and the last time. The member for Florey.
