Royal Adelaide Hospital

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:40): Can the Minister for Health tell the house what transition arrangements are in place for both catering for patients and equipment sterilisation between the transfer from the old Royal Adelaide to the new Royal Adelaide?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:40): I'm more than happy, if the member for Morphett has an interest in this, to arrange for him to be briefed by the project leaders in this particular area. If he has detailed questions about all these sorts of things, I am happy to arrange for him to meet with them. They can go through it.

There is an enormous amount of work being done. The move from one hospital to the other is the biggest project, I think, in this state's history, or one of them anyway. It has significant complexity and many, many aspects.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: The Leader of the Opposition interjects, 'It's is a mess.' He is only interested in running down this very, very important reform. He has absolutely no interest—

The SPEAKER: The minister is now debating the answer. I have anticipated this all question time: the member for Kavel.
