ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:37): I have a supplementary question, Mr President—

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway has a supplementary question.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: —arising out of the non-answer by the minister.

The PRESIDENT: Well, that is impossible.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: What will the buildings that the minister now claims will be retained on that site and not returned to parklands be used for?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:37): All I said is there are some buildings on that site that I understand are heritage buildings. I think the new hospital site (the Marjorie Jackson-Nelson health precinct) is due to be finished in 2014 or 2015, or something of that order.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: You should know. It is your government's decision.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Well, it is in the hands of my colleague, the Minister for Health. Obviously, there will be plenty of time to consider the future of those buildings.
