Regional Aged-Care Facilities

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:58): Supplementary: when will upgrades occur to the Kapunda Hospital?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:58): It's funny you should mention that, because I was actually at Kapunda, I think about two or three weeks ago.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —the quality of the services there. I think the latest investment that I was able to inspect related to day surgery.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Leader of the Opposition, order! The Leader of the Opposition, your deputy asked a supplementary and I don't know whether she can hear it, because I am having difficulty in hearing the answer.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: I certainly make the observation that the Labor members like to ask questions but they very quickly show their disinterest, because they howl down the answer. This government will continue to invest in capital works in the country, whether it is hospitals or aged care.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary, the deputy leader, arising from the original answer.
