Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:25): My question is to the Minister for Health. Does the minister stand by his statement in September 2015 that it would be foolhardy and dangerous to open the new Royal Adelaide Hospital in winter?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:26): Yes, I do; certainly, it would be the case to try to do it in the middle of flu season—that's right. That is why I made it very, very clear that the opening of the hospital will very much depend on when flu season hits.
