Repatriation General Hospital

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:27): My question is to the Treasurer. Does SA Health have all the necessary expenditure authority required to open beds at the Repatriation General Hospital?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:28): Was that a question to me?

The PRESIDENT: Yes.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I do apologise. I am so used all the questions going to the Minister for Health and when you mentioned Health I assumed it was going to the Minister for Health. If I understood the question, it was whether or not Health had sufficient funding to do all it needs to do. Is that a fair reflection of the question? If it's not—

The Hon. J.E. Hanson: No.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: Perhaps if the honourable member—

The PRESIDENT: I will ask the member to state his question again.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON: I will help the Treasurer out. Does SA Health have all the necessary expenditure authority required to open beds at the Repatriation General Hospital?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: The Minister for Health and SA Health—the Minister for Health, ultimately, accepts responsibility, as all ministers do for the operations of their departments and budgets—has sufficient funding for all of the decisions that he and his department choose to make.
