What advice, if any, has the minister received from government-appointed coordinator, Wayne Champion, about any likely acquisition of private property to commission the remaining hospital helipads? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:54):</by>  Specifically in terms of the Clare helipad, there is certainly, to the best of my knowledge, not an issue in particular with the helipad itself. It's about the neighbouring properties that we are working with Babcock on. Certainly, Wayne Champion, on behalf of the health system and all the local health networks, is leading that process and is in discussions with one or two neighbouring property owners about making sure that we can work with them to be in a position where we can make sure that Babcock is comfortable in terms of resuming services at that site, which of course would have been an issue at that site whether or not the helipad had been upgraded, given the proximity that those locations have always had to the helipad site at Clare Hospital.</text>
