Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:24): Supplementary: did the new Women's and Children's Hospital task force complete a report prior to the engagement of this consortium, as the minister previously advised parliament, or did it not?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:24): Considering my time in opposition, I think the Hon. Rob Lucas might be having the same nightmares that I am having. The new Royal Adelaide Hospital construction led to piles upon piles of reports. You don't build a hospital with merely one stage of the process being documented. Of course there will be work done through this process. It will take more than one report to build a hospital.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven, we have exhausted that.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: He hasn't answered any questions, though, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: I can't put words into his mouth. The Hon. Ms Bourke.
