Barossa Hospital

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (15:04): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has land been purchased for a new Barossa hospital and, if not, when will it be? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: There is $5 million in the state budget to purchase the land and an EOI closed earlier this year.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:05): No, not yet, and that is under active consideration by the government.
