McLellan Tracey; Reti ShaneDr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour): Thank you Mr Chair. Thank you Minister for answering these questions. I have another sort of question around infrastructure in particular. The Minister of Health has been at pains on several examples tonight to remind us that the period under review was a period that he doesn't feel particularly responsible for. That brings to light I think one of the kind of caveats or one of the suppositions that we should make clear and that is that the health reforms have afforded the Minister a very good opportunity to have a much leaner meaner efficient way of doing asset management and managing the capital estate.So with that in mind and given that there's about 1200 buildings and there are 73 kind of live projects in various stages has the Minister had any advice or is the Minister making any plans to halt rescope or do anything differently given the fact that we've got several examples around the country where we're a little bit nervous that things aren't going according to plan? Can you give us a little bit of an update please?Hon Dr SHANE RETI (Minister of Health): Thank you Mr Chair. To address that question: while I have rallied against centralisation in what I believe was one of the key themes of the health reforms it is also true that there are some parts of centralisation that have been useful—for example the ability to see infrastructure across the whole estate instead of having 20 individual district health boards doing their own thing. That of course is a good thing. A universal terminology. This is the code you're going to use for congestive heart failure. You don't get to choose your own code. You don't get to put a Z code on it. This is what we use." That of course has been beneficial. So yes that has been useful.Do I have any plans to change the frameworks around how we deliver infrastructure? Look that's in a period outside under review but we continue to want to get maximum efficiency yet understand that if we don't give people the tools and the facilities to do the job they need to do it's going to be a struggle for me to get some of the targets that I want to get. That's the reality. So take hope that at this point in time I'm progressing the infrastructure plan as it was; how I might tweak that is still to be determined.Just doubling back again to member Hūhana's question around localities: I've been suggested that $14.85 million this year is available for localities.I did say that I'd pass the initial question from Ingrid—or member Leary—around mental health when I had the appropriate associate who could provide the domain expertise. If she wanted to pose that question again I'm sure I'd be happy to pick it up and pass it forward.Dr TRACEY McLELLAN (Labour): Thank you Mr Chair. Thank you for that Minister and I acknowledge your answer. Can you be specific if any have been rescoped—any projects that are on that list are currently being rescoped of have been rescoped in the last few weeks or the last couple of months? I think there are genuine concerns in an environment where we know that there are cuts and in an environment where we know that there are priorities—because there always have to be choices to b be made and we know that there are certain pressures there but we are after a specific answer about whether any of those projects are currently being rescoped.Hon Dr SHANE RETI (Minister of Health): Look a lot of projects through their journey are rescoped in various ways both for time schedule and for cost. What the member is asking are questions that either may well be budget-centred or certainly way outside this period under review and you ask what's happened in the last few weeks and the member knows this. But all I can say is that as I said the biggest scope review was to Dunedin Hospital in the period under review. But I accept that most projects will change over time but I can't give her the details—she'll understand this."
