Lyell McEwin Hospital

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:58): Further supplementary: in relation to that answer and the original answer, how much of the budget for that capital outlay in terms of the additional build at the Lyell McEwin and how much of the ongoing outlay in salaries for the consultants, nurses and administrative staff will be part of this year's financial year report, which the Hon. Mr Lucas tells us is already in the red, and how much will be put into the forwards?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:59): I must admit I don't understand the import of the member's question. The expenditure on this project was part of Labor's fit of embarrassment about Transforming Health when, was it the middle of June last year, the former Labor premier (Mr Weatherill) and the now Leader of the Opposition in the other place, the former minister for health, now not a member of this place, went to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and announced the dumping of Transforming Health.

Soon after, the budget had a number of projects, which were an attempt to try to start the recovery of the public health system. After three years of demolition the damage had well and truly been done. I am glad that at least they put the first step towards recovery, but there are a lot more steps to go.
