Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): What is contained in the 300-page business case, which is yet to be released, that is over and above what already has been put up on the website?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:20): Well, it's simply the work that's been done by the department and the other experts that have been engaged with this that underpins these reforms. There is significant capital investment as part of the transformation of health process, so there obviously have to be business cases to underpin those. There's issues to do with patient flows, there's issues to do about the assumptions that are made with regard to getting our discharges out earlier, so there's a whole lot of detailed work which underpins it, but with regard to the decisions or the proposals we're putting and the rationale for those changes, it's all in the document we've released.
