Repatriation General Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): What modelling has the government done to look at the impacts upon the waiting times at the Flinders Medical Centre emergency department on the closure of the Repat acute referral unit in 2012?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:19): I am more than happy to have a look at that. I don't know whether any have been brought to my attention. Certainly, the decision was made before I became health minister, and I don't know whether any studies have been made of the impact of that. I would suspect, though, that any there would be would be very minimal.
