ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:01): Following on from that question, I again ask a question of the Minister for Health. Is Professor Vilis Marshall one of the RAH medical specialists who has had funds allocated from the cultural change budget to enable him to participate in production of television advertisements and radio interviews in support of the hospital?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:01): The deputy leader cannot help but slur good people. She is as grubby as they come when it comes to personal denigration of people of outstanding quality, who have delivered services to this state for decades and decades. Dr Marshall is the Clinical Director of Surgery at the RAH. He is an outstanding leader who manages a whole range of processes in that place. I can assure the member that the funds have been properly allocated for the change purposes that I have described. I cannot tell her whether Dr Marshall has been part of those arrangements and if those funds have been used for him, but, I can assure the member that they have not been used to pay him to make advertisements.

Ms Chapman: I didn't say that.

The Hon. J.D. HILL: You implied it, Vickie.

Ms Chapman: I didn't say that. You didn't even know what is in the cultural fund.

The SPEAKER: Order!
