Royal Adelaide Hospital

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:20): Supplementary: does the minister have any knowledge of the amount that has been spent on additional security as a result of the duress system not being functional?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:20): I certainly have been briefed on that. I am happy to take that on notice. It has been a significant contribution to the financial pressure on the Central Adelaide Local Health Network. But, considering that the budget blowout in the Central Adelaide Local Health Network in the last financial year of the Labor government was $250 million—in other words, a quarter of a billion dollars overrun—I can assure you it wasn't all of that.
