Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:40): Can the minister explain the remediation? Will the soil have to be removed from the site, and are there any approximate costs of what that would be? Furthermore, I can point out to the minister that it is not just contaminated soil that is there. My understanding is that there is a large plume of contaminated water on the site as well—underneath.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:40): My understanding is that the work being done will identify all of those risks, and certainly no cost estimates have been given to me, because the estimate of the cost remediation depends on what is found.
