          <by role="member" id="4840">Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:46):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health. Is it still the government's position to establish a dedicated eye hospital under Transforming Health and, if not, where will the eye services that it originally planned to deliver at Modbury Hospital now be provided?</text>

          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:46):</by>  We are working through that with the ophthalmologists. We are very close, I think, to coming to a resolution that all parties will be satisfied with. I had a meeting with the ophthalmologists only just recently. We are doing a business case around a particular proposal, but I'm very confident we will have this issue sorted. The ophthalmologists are very keen to have a specialist eye area—precinct or hospital. We are working with it. I think it would be in everyone's interests for something like that to proceed. We really just need to make sure that the numbers stack up.</text>
