Royal Adelaide Hospital

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): A supplementary question, arising from the answer, and I thank the minister for his answer. In relation to that entry point at the Royal Adelaide Hospital from the car park, is the minister able to outline what the barriers are preventing a separate entry point via a lift from the car park for COVID-19 patients?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:32): I am not exactly sure what the honourable member is asking, but if he is suggesting is there capacity for an entrance to the clinic from the car park which, if you like, goes direct, I wouldn't think so. If I could envision the route from the clinic to the car park, if you like, you have the clinic door, you go right, you go past the pharmacy, you go through the cafe and then there are lifts in the centre of the eastern wing, so I don't expect there would be any entrances that would allow direct access into the clinic. If that was possible, I would have thought the hospital would have facilitated that, but I will certainly make inquiries.
