Repatriation General Hospital

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:30): Again to the Minister for Health: does the minister stand by his statement that there will be no retail services on the Repatriation General Hospital site after the government's sale of the Daw Park site?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:30): I don't know if that is quite the word I said. What I said was that there wouldn't be a bulky goods-type development on the site, because obviously that was a concern. Obviously, it would be well within ACH's remit to have cafes and things like that. So no, I wouldn't completely rule out retail, but I have always been quite clear that the government's intention was for the site to be re-used as a health/aged-care type of precinct and that is certainly what the ACH submission provides for.
