Women's and Children's Hospital

1183 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (11 September 2019). What is the breakdown of the $550 million for the Women's and Children's Hospital across the forward estimates for both recurrent expenditure and capital expenditure?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

As part of the 2019-20 state budget, the government provisioned $550 million to complete the planning and commence construction of a new Women's and Children's Hospital (referenced in Budget Paper 3, page 7).

This provision, which currently forms part of the overall capital investment contingency held by the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF), will support the finalisation of the preferred clinical model, scoping and design work and completion of the detailed business case, planning work and commencement of construction.

A breakdown of the current provision retained by DTF across the forward estimates can be sought from the Treasurer.
