          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:37):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Premier, is it correct that the current Women's and Children's Hospital has now spent over 93 per cent of its sustainment funding and there is almost nothing left for the next six years of the hospital? With your leave, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON:</by>  The budget papers reveal that there is only $4 million left of sustainment funding at the Women's and Children's Hospital, which is set to end in December this year, and there is no further allocation for the remaining six years until the new hospital opens.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:38):</by>  It's a detailed question in relation to the sustainment fund and the identification of the source of budget for the Women's and Children's to deal with that matter. It's the sort of question that would naturally be immediately available to get an answer in estimates. That not being the case with the relevant advisers here, I will seek an answer from the Minister for Health and bring one back to the member.</text>
