WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, BREAST CANCER

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:21): Sir, I have a supplementary question. Given the minister's indication that he will conduct the inquiry, will it be of the whole of the premises at the Women's and Children's Hospital, not just the Queen Victoria Building, which he has indicated he will investigate?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:21): The health department, through the epidemiological people and cancer advisers, will make a determination about the appropriate scale, or scope, of the need as required. The point is that the member raised this matter in a particular way. We will look at the issue, but I just make the point that, other than the member's raising it in here in a public way as to create concern amongst people who work in that hospital, only one person has raised the issue with their employer—that is, the Women's and Children's Hospital—and they raised it anonymously.
