ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:44): Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question, again, is to the Premier. Will the Premier advise the house what share of funding for the new hospital at the railyards South Australia will receive from the commonwealth under the Gillard government's health plan? The Premier told the house on 12 May last year, after agreeing to the former federal government's health plan:

The state government will be negotiating with the federal government to ensure it pays its fair share of the capital cost of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (15:45): I have got an announcement to make. For every new doctor and every new nurse at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, fifty-fifty funding by the federal government.
