Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Women's and Children's Hospital Women's and Children's Hospital The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Women's and Children's Hospital The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:27): A further supplementary from the minister's original answer: given that the government has promised to open this hospital in less than six years, does the minister concede that, if there is nothing in this year's budget, which goes out to forward estimates of four years from now, there is no way this can be delivered in six years? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Women's and Children's Hospital The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:27): One thing that will be in the budget in relation to the Women's and Children's Hospital is sustainment effort at the current site. What we have had is a former Labor government, which was dilly-dallying over this project for years and years, and we have serious issues at the Women's and Children's Hospital that will require sustainment investment in spite of the project. The fact of the matter is that we need to minimise the transfer time because extending the transfer time will only increase the sustainment expenditures.
