Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:38): My question is to the Minister for Health. In what country were the exterior fascia panels used on the new Royal Adelaide Hospital manufactured?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:38): I will have to get some advice, but I can provide this advice to the house. I will just read the small print. All facade and curtain walling on the new Royal Adelaide Hospital complies with the Australian standards and Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirements. The BCA deals with the compliance for fire risks in construction and fire hazard properties. The facade and curtain wall comprise a series of interlocking components, including glass, metal composite and aluminium. Components are extensively tested at the point of manufacture. As to where they were manufactured, I am happy to report back.

The SPEAKER: And the minister's quote was from?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I am quoting from a briefing note that has been sent to me.
