Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:18): My question is to the Minister for Health. Has the minister, or the government, not approved a proposed public statement by either HYLC or SA Health Partnership?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:18): I am more than happy for SA Health Partnership to make themselves available to speak to the media. I can tell the house that there have been a number of occasions when I have asked SA Health Partnership to make themselves more available to the media because, to be honest, I am a bit tired of having to be the public face of everything that happens on that site when we have a builder, we have a company, who is delivering the project. What I do expect, though, is SA Health Partnership, in all their statements, to be accurate and factual. I will always approve statements that are accurate and factual. What I will not approve are statements which are misleading and factually incorrect.
