          <by role="member" id="4847">Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (15:07):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health. Given that outpatient services in respiratory, oncology and cardiac were always going to continue at The QEH under Transforming Health, what services are now being put back to The QEH plan following the Premier's announcement on 18 June?</text>

          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:07):</by>  We dealt with this extensively in estimates yesterday. It's obvious that the opposition have run out of questions and simply have to revisit their questions from yesterday. The answer hasn't changed since yesterday: we are going through these issues with the clinicians. The government's announcement was that those services would remain. In particular, the cath lab would remain at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.</text>
        <text id="2017080209de0343cef14a39b0000583">I do like the opposition continually asking these questions to remind people of the fact that the government has had this change of policy. It is very useful of them to continue to raise this question—I am grateful to them—but we are working through these questions with our clinicians about what is the appropriate shape of those services. I have made it very clear there will be inpatient services, inpatient beds available for those three clinical areas, and there will be specialists for those three clinical areas at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.</text>
