SA Health Partnership

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Health. Given that the cure plan rejected by the government last Friday was meant to cure a major default notice issued in April, is the government activating a termination event?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:54): Not at this stage but, as I have said previously, we reserve all our rights. We haven't gone down that road. That is not my preferred option. I would much rather that SAHP, who the government has a contract with, rectify the issues that need to be rectified in order for the hospital to be safe for us to begin to move patients in. But, as I say, we certainly reserve all our rights in this regard; and, if forced to, then that is certainly on the table but not something that we are pursuing at present.
