Lyell McEwin Hospital

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:55): Supplementary: I asked the minister, and he may have to bring it back, but I would like to know the amount of money spent on these two pamphlets into the inner northern suburb of Clearview, which is 17 kilometres away from the Lyell McEwin Hospital.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:55): I tell you what, the cost of distributing that information, so as to ensure that the public are well informed, and are not misinformed by the sorts of misinformation and scare tactics that the Liberal Party is constantly pursuing and engaging in, is a worthwhile investment. It is important that people have confidence in their public health system. They can gain confidence in the public health system from the very substantial amounts of money that this state government is investing in it, including in excess of $60 million in the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network.
