Mount Gambier Hospital

Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Health. Can the minister explain to the house why orthopaedic surgeons in metropolitan Adelaide have had their contracts rolled over for 12 months, yet the two orthopaedic surgeons in the Mount Gambier Hospital have only been offered three months?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:28): I am happy to get a briefing. I am not sure the personal employment contracts of individuals in the Department for Health is something that really should be canvassed in here, but I am more than happy to get in contact with the member for Mount Gambier and get a report to him.
