Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:46): Supplementary question: can the minister confirm for the record that yesterday's announcement of an extra $676 million in health spending is not going to be directed towards—or any of that is going to be directed towards the current Women's and Children's Hospital?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:47): I don't know the $687 million that the honourable member is referring to. I presume it's actually the $685 million that is referred to in Budget Paper 4, Volume 3—

The Hon. C. Bonaros: No, that's the Women's and Children's Hospital funding.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Then I don't know to what figure the honourable member refers.
