Women's and Children's Hospital

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:12): My question is again to the Minister for Health. Does the minister consider that the emergency power supply at the Women's and Children's Hospital is adequate, given that the opposition has been advised that the surgery of at least one child was cancelled recently after that child had entered the operating theatre?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:12): Certainly I have received no advice to say that there were any problems with the backup generation at the Women's and Children's Hospital. It operated exactly as it was meant to.
