Royal Adelaide Hospital Pain Unit

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): My question is to the Minister for Health. Can the minister confirm that the pain unit at the Royal Adelaide Hospital will close when the hospital moves to its new site?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:19): I will check the latest on that, but the original proposal was for the pain unit to move to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. My understanding is that that has the support of the clinicians in the pain unit at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. There has been some change, so the pain unit will relocate to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital for a short period of time before it goes to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the very near future.
