Yet another USB thumb-drive hitchhikes

South Australia's Health Minister John Hill says sensitive files on planning for the new Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) have disappeared.

He says the files kept on a USB drive were lost by an employee from SA Health's Major Projects Office this month...

The SA Opposition says a review must find out why it took nine days for Government ministers to be told the sensitive material had been lost.

Opposition health spokeswoman Vickie Chapman says loss of the files could sabotage the tendering process for the project.

"The biggest item of infrastructure promised by this Government is now at risk," she said.

"Now the most serious interpretation of this is that these documents contain material perhaps even the public sector comparative figures that will just give a field day for prospective tenderers." (more)
