Question Time

Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): My question is to the Premier. When did the Premier receive the Hallion review and was it before or after he decided to move the Women's and Children's Hospital to the Thebarton barracks?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:27): I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question. All of the work that we have undertaken since coming to government regarding the new Women's and Children's Hospital proposal, including the thorough analysis of the former government's proposition, was done in the lead-up to us making the very significant decision to build a bigger, better hospital on the Thebarton barracks site.
