A BRISBANE GP super clinic promised by Kevin Rudd in 2007 has still not been opened, despite $13.2 million being invested in the facility by the federal government.

The Redcliffe clinic was first promised by the then opposition leader during the 2007 election campaign.

But during Senate estimate hearings on Wednesday, health bureaucrats said the facility was not operational and undergoing renovations.

"It's over six years and it's still being built. We've lost two prime ministers in the meantime, and a couple of health ministers," an apparently exasperated Liberal Senator Sue Boyce said.

"Where is this going? Is there ever going to be a GP super clinic in Redcliffe?"

"It's currently undergoing fit-out," Mark Booth, from the Primary and Ambulatory Care Division, said.

Only half the 64 super clinics pledged by Labor have been opened, with the rollout of the facilities beset by delays.
