ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:30): A supplementary question: of the rural and regional patients, how many will be able to have their extended family stay with them, particularly in the case of Aboriginal families, given that currently they stay in the nurses' accommodation?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (14:30): I am happy to refer that question to the Minister for Health in another place and bring back a response. I do not have the details, but I do understand there will be facilities. These considerations have been consulted on, and I understand that considerations have been put in place. I do not have those details but I can assure the honourable member that facilities will be provided.
