ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (8 June 2011) (First Session).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): The Minister for Health has advised:

1. South Australian Health Partnership has submitted a comprehensive arts strategy, including its use in directional way-finding throughout the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, as a component of its bid design documentation.

Should the decision be made in the future that there is a requirement for pieces of commissioned art, consistent with the obligations of SA Health under the Strategic Procurement Unit guidelines, an open tender would be called.
