Royal Adelaide Hospital

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:55): Supplementary question: minister, you spoke about the just more than $2 billion for the new RAH. What is the total amount South Australians will actually pay for the new RAH? Is it not closer to $9.5 billion by the time we pay for it?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:55): I am more than happy to get a specific number for the Hon. Mr Stephens around what the cost is over the whole life of the contract that we have. Needless to say, the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, as the pre-eminent hospital in South Australia, a quaternary hospital that is brand-new, is going to cost an extraordinary amount of money to run over the coming decades. We hope that this is an institution that will serve the state well, not just for the next 10 or 20 years—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Minister, can you please take your seat. This is the second time I have asked the two leaders (of the government and the opposition) to cease debate or discussion while the minister is on his feet. I don't want to do it a third time. Minister.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS: The old Royal Adelaide Hospital—

The PRESIDENT: Just before you do, up there, were you taping that then? Are you sure you weren't? Alright. Minister.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS: The old Royal Adelaide Hospital, which I should add is the hospital that the Liberal Party would have us stuck in still had they got their way in campaigning against the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, was an institution that many South Australians were served well by for a very long period of time. We expect that the new Royal Adelaide Hospital will be able to provide a service comparable in length of time to what the old Royal Adelaide Hospital provided. Of course, that will bring with it a substantial cost. I am happy to take the honourable member's question on notice and try to get some information back as quickly as possible.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Dawkins.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Dawkins has the floor.
