Modbury Hospital

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): My question is to the Minister for Health. In the face of growing concerns about patient safety at the Modbury Hospital emergency department, will the minister now withdraw his assertion to this house on 11 February that doctors' opposition to changes at Modbury Hospital was based on their not being willing to drive to 'Elizabeth and because of snobbery'?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:33): No, I will not.
