HEALTH CARE

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:33): My question is for the Minister for Health. What is the total combined budget overrun for the health regions in South Australia for the 2009-10 financial year? The opposition has been advised that blowouts for the former and current health regions total more than $300 million, that is, $200 million for the Central Northern Adelaide Health; $60 million for the Southern Adelaide Health; $35 million for Country Health; and $15 million for the Children, Youth and Women's Health.

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:34): I am happy to provide that information to the member when it has been provided to me.
