Flinders Medical Centre Hydrotherapy Services

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:40): Supplementary: my question arises from the answer, in particular the reference to a methodical logistical transition. Is the Repat pool open today?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:40): That is a unique question from the opposition, who are so creative that they have decided to come up with a Repat policy that, guess what, clones the government's policy. We are in the process of transitioning off the Repat site. We have been a government that has been actually serious about ensuring that those people who are in state government public health facilities get access to good ones.

We know that the opposition deserves a distinction when it comes to consistency in opposing every effort that this government has ever made to invest in brand-new facilities. We saw it with the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, opposed by the opposition. We have seen it with the Jamie Larcombe Centre investment by the state government, opposed by the opposition. We have seen it in regard to our effort to ensure that all people who had access to the Repat site in the past, get access to things like the $185 million-plus investment we have made at the Flinders Medical Centre.

We are serious about putting our money where our mouth is when it comes to the provision of high-quality public health care in brand-new facilities, and we will remain committed to that cause, if we are lucky enough to be elected at the next state election.
