HAMPSTEAD REHABILITATION CENTRE

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Health. When will the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre be sold and where will the patients be relocated? On 29 June 2007, in answer to a question I asked the minister, he stated that the government had no intention of closing down the centre and had not looked into doing so. Now the opposition is informed that tenants on the property have received notice that they will have to vacate the facility to facilitate the sale of the property.

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:06): I thank the deputy leader for the question. As is typical of her, she gets a bit of information, she puts it through the Mixmaster of her fabulous logic and comes out with something which is completely wrong. None of the patients from Hampstead will be moved. We do have some land there which is covered with broken down buildings with broken windows. The best they could be used for is in horror scenes in films made in South Australia. I think there is one that the Premier appeared in but I am not sure what that film was.

An honourable member: It was silent film!

The Hon. J.D. HILL: It was a silent film. We obviously do not need those resources and we are looking at vacating that land because we no longer need it, but the Hampstead rehabilitation facility will not be affected by that.
