Modbury Hospital

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary arising from the answer: when was the minister first informed by his department that, and I quote from the tabling of his answer to a question on notice, 'appropriate levels of clinical safety may not be achieved with the establishment of a stand-alone high dependency unit'? When was the minister first informed of that by his department?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:32): My understanding is that that information was included in the incoming government briefs.
