Has formal clinical consultation started since the new design team for the Women's and Children's Hospital was put in place and, if so, who is leading that process and who has been consulted?</text>

PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:36):</by>  Yes, absolutely, consultation is well underway with clinicians in terms of all elements of this hospital. We have been recently talking to clinicians in relation to the block and stack, and updating that based on feedback from clinicians. Detailed work groups are looking at various elements of the hospital design.</text>
        <text id="202510295c312960d2734ae1b0000439">There is, of course, a huge project team to make sure that we can deliver a project of this scope and part of that team, critically, is a team dedicated to making sure that that consultation can happen. There is a dedicated executive from the Women's and Children's Health Network who is embedded in the new hospital construction team leading that work, making sure that we are engaged with our clinicians and as well with our consumer groups as part of that design process.</text>
