ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:48): My question is to the Treasurer. Will you confirm that the new Royal Adelaide Hospital PPP is structured so that once the hospital is built it can be sold to overseas investors?

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) (14:48): That is just absolute arrant nonsense, Madam Speaker. The hospital is being built on state land and it will become a state asset at the end of the contracting period of 35 years.
