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. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Women's and Children's Hospital The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:37): A further supplementary: given the minister has now said that they are backing away from their commitment—it will not be 2024—can he answer some questions: how many nurses will be able to park at the new women's and children's hospital and how many will have to park elsewhere? Members interjecting: The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: It's about hospitals, so therefore surely it's relevant. The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: Point of order: how is that arising out of the original answer? The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The original answer to the Hon. Ms Scriven was actually about the hospital. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Yes, but the parking is relevant to the hospital. I am ruling it is an appropriate supplementary, minister. Minister, you went through the whole planning process. The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, the President is talking. That's when you remain silent—alright? Minister, your original answer went through the whole of the planning process of the hospital. Parking is integral to the hospital. Please respond to the supplementary. The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:38): You are an incredibly generous man. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: I know. The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council The Hon. S.G. WADE: I advise the honourable member that I have been given no advice in relation to nurses' car parks in particular. It has certainly been brought to my attention that it will be difficult to deliver the number of car parks required on the footprint of the new hospital, but I would say to the honourable member that the nurses at the Women's and Children's Hospital are delighted at this announcement. They were disdainful of being left at North Adelaide and particularly the proposal in relation to leaving the children's hospital stranded. We will continue to work through with nurses in relation to car parking at every site. When we receive the report of the task force, that will include specifications, cost and time frame. The Department for Health will work through that task force report and prepare a cabinet submission for cabinet's decision.
