LIVESTRONG CANCER RESEARCH CENTRE AND THE FLINDERS MEDICAL CENTRE FOUNDATION FUNDING

107 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (29 June 2010) (First Session). How much State Government grant funding is provided to the Livestrong Cancer Research Centre and the Flinders Medical Centre Foundation, respectively?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. Announced as part of the 2004-05 budget, $2.5 million was allocated by the Department of Health for the construction of the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer, which incorporates the Livestrong Cancer Research Centre.

A change in the nature of the project from a SA Health investing project to a grant to the Flinders Medical Centre Foundation was made in 2009-10.

The Treasurer approved a loan of $5 million to the Flinders Medical Centre Foundation to finance the residual funding requirements to commence construction.
