New Mount Barker Hospital

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:46): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. How does the minister explain the change in project cost for the Mount Barker hospital? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: The health minister has stated that the 2025-26 budget blowout for this project was 'because of the uplift in construction, trade and material costs happening here and around the world'. This is the second time that the project has changed this term.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:47): I think the member just answered her own question in the explanation.
