Port Augusta Hospital

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:13): My question is again for the Minister for Health. Why did Port Augusta Hospital lose power on the morning of 28 September, 4½ hours before the blackout?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:13): We have commissioned an independent engineering review into the generation failures at both the Flinders Medical Centre and at the Port Augusta Hospital. The review into Port Augusta Hospital will encompass the reasons for the failure of the generator prior to the blackout, and I am more than happy to make that public when that review is completed.
