House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Royal Adelaide Hospital Royal Adelaide Hospital Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Leader of the Opposition Royal Adelaide Hospital Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): My question is to the Minister for Health. Is it the case that the rejection of the cure plan risks stopping Project Co. from completing the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, as they advised the Supreme Court this morning? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Royal Adelaide Hospital The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:07): I will not be making any comment about what is said in the Supreme Court, other than to say what I have already said, and that is that my independent legal advice to the government is that our contract is very, very strong and protects the interests of taxpayers and protects, most importantly, the interests of the patients who will move into the new hospital. Mr Knoll interjecting: The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: And, unlike the member for Schubert, who obviously wants me to pursue a plan where we just do whatever SAHP ask of us and cut corners and make mistakes that the Liberal government in Queensland made, where they forced the opening of a hospital to a political agenda, I won't be making that mistake despite the calls of the opposition, who would take a very wishy-washy, weak role when it comes to dealing with large multinational corporations. I will stand up for the rights of South Australian taxpayers and for the rights of the patients who will go to that hospital.
