1286 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (11 September 2019). CALHN commissioned two business cases for an eye hospital and an ambulatory care centre, delivered to the government in September last year—were any budget bids on such a facility considered in the lead-up to the 2019-20 budget?

1. On what date was the minister advised of the business cases for an eye hospital and ambulatory care centre in CALHN?

2. Is the government actively considering the establishment of an eye hospital, ambulatory care centre or other facility dedicated to ophthalmology?

3. The Repat was briefly considered by the government as a site for an eye hospital—is this still in consideration?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

Budget bids are part of the cabinet process.
