Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): Final supplementary: is the minister aware of any concerns that clinicians or staff have raised about the failure of this unit to be operating yet, and how would he specifically respond to them?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:23): I have no doubt that staff are extremely frustrated at the actions of the union, because they want to be in a brand-new facility delivering top quality care to South Australians. They are currently continuing to operate in a facility that is well past its use-by date.

The PRESIDENT: Before calling the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, I would like, on behalf of the council, to wish the Hon. Frank Pangallo a very happy birthday. I am sure it is an anniversary of his 21^st birthday, but I am not sure which one.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Thank you, Mr President, and thank you to all of the members who have given me those fine wishes. Thank you.
