Repatriation General Hospital

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Health. Was a business case prepared for the move of Ward 17 to the Glenside campus and, if not, why not? If so, will the minister publicly release that business case?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:32): We had an expert panel that examined all the options for sites for the move of the patient delivery for that. I will have to make an inquiry about a business case, but I know that we had extensive committees working across a number of spaces to ensure that the new Jamie Larcombe Centre, a $15 million build of this state government, is committed to providing veterans currently serving, past serving and future serving so they are adequately and professionally dealt with for the future, for their own wellbeing and for their families.
