Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:32): My question is again to the Minister for Health. What is the cost of modifications to the technical suites of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, and will the cost be borne by the state?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:32): Very minimal. These are very minor modifications. It was always anticipated that there would be some modifications necessary and they would be met within the existing budget. We always had a budget—

Mr Duluk interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call to order the member for Davenport.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: —for any minor modifications that needed to be made to the hospital, and these will be met from within that existing budget. There certainly will not be any necessity to go back to Treasury to get any additional funding. They will be met within the existing budget.
