          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:09):</by>  My question is to the Attorney-General.

          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:09):</by>  I can. The state government is aware that the builder of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital has issued court proceedings against Celsus, the state and the project's independent certifier. The state remains entirely confident in its legal position and the protections afforded to it by the contract. It is worth noting that, to date, over 20 extensions of time have been submitted by the builder, all of which have been determined by the certifier at zero days and zero dollars. Any court action by HYLC does not impact in any way on the opening of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital next month.</text>
