Women's and Children's Hospital

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (15:04): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the business case for the new Women's and Children's Hospital been to Infrastructure SA? If so, what was the outcome?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:05): We have been very clear about the process that we undertook in relation to appointing a panel that was led by Jim Hallion. The panel had experts on it, including Jim Birch, who led the previous task force that was undertaken under the previous government. That determined that the best outcome for building the new hospital was to build on the new site, both from a clinical perspective and overall perspective. This has been widely supported by clinicians, but we just don't know where the opposition stands on it.

Mrs Hurn: So this hasn't been to Infrastructure SA?

The SPEAKER: The member for Schubert is called to order.
