Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is to the Minister for Health. Given that the 2016-17 budget assumed that the first day that the new Royal Adelaide Hospital would be open for business would be tomorrow, what is the new date of commercial acceptance that SA Health has advised Treasury to use in the Mid-Year Budget Review?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:13): Those dates will, of course, be revised and taken in the Mid-Year Budget Review, but that will be a very conservative position from the budget point of view, as you would always expect from Treasury. But that will be in the Mid-Year Budget Review.
