Will the minister publicly release the six-year plan for the design and construction of the new Women's and Children's Hospital, and if not, why not? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:47):</by>  Similar to when I was asked a very similar question in the last sitting week, the answer is very similar in terms of there are various bits of planning that are happening iteratively, and they are being released to clinicians as we do that work. As each stage of that concept design and functional design brief is done, we are consulting with clinicians on that.</text>
        <text id="202511139115319175b5463380000473">We are making that available for clinicians and our consumer representatives as well, which is a critical part of the planning of this hospital as well because we need to make sure that all of their input can go into it. Of course, not everyone will get everything they want, but it is important that we make sure that we hear from all the voices as part of the design of the project. We will keep doing that throughout the course of our planning and construction of this important project.</text>
