Royal Adelaide Hospital

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): My question is to the Minister for Health. When the minister publicly asserted on 29 June that clinical trials could be accommodated at the old RAH in the Eleanor Harrald Building, did he know that very few, perhaps only seven, of the 300 trials could be accommodated there and that patients in those trials would still have to be present at the new RAH as well as the old RAH?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:16): My advice is that patient-phasing trials will be able to be conducted in the new Royal Adelaide Hospital. Trials that essentially will require administrative accommodation will continue to be accommodated in the Eleanor Harrald Building for the foreseeable future.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Schubert is warned and so is the member for Kavel. The member for Ashford.
