Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:40): Supplementary arising from the original answer: if the levels do come back with a high level of contamination, will the minister continue to push forward to build the hospital at this site?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:41): The government has no intention of revisiting the site location. Let's remember what is at risk here. We have shut the book on Labor's plan to leave the children's hospital isolated at the North Adelaide site—children deprived of an opportunity for medical retrieval at the Royal Adelaide site. We are not interested in a second-class hospital for South Australian children. We're not going anywhere.
