Royal Adelaide Hospital

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:41): Supplementary: given that the minister mentioned real people with real medical needs to be addressed, will he move to make the new RAH a latex-free environment, given that 5 per cent of the population currently has a latex allergy, and this can increase with exposure to latex?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:42): I thank the honourable member for her question. That is not an area I have been briefed on, but I am happy to seek advice and share it with the honourable member.
