ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:27): My question is to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer overturn the former treasurer's decision to keep the new Royal Adelaide Hospital plans and costings hidden from South Australian taxpayers and allow scrutiny of the project by the Public Works Committee?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Treasurer.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (15:28): I am happy to have a look at this issue. The important thing is this project, the building of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, will be the most scrutinised project ever undertaken in South Australia's history. I am happy to have a look at it. It is not an intention on my part in any way to in any way frustrate proper parliamentary scrutiny of that project.
