PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE: FLINDERS MEDICAL CENTRE

Mr KENYON (Newland) (16:43): By leave, I move:

That the 339^th report of the committee, entitled Flinders Medical Centre Redevelopment—Revised Emergency Department and Acute Medical Unit, be noted.

This item came to the Public Works Committee and involved a reworking of plans for the redevelopment of the Emergency Department and Acute Medical Unit. Previously, they had come to the Public Works Committee with plans. After that, a group of doctors from those units (the Emergency Department and Acute Medical Unit) had travelled to the United Kingdom where they had a look at some of the most recent developments in those units, particularly around work flow, patient flow and care. As a result, they came back and reworked their plans for that redevelopment and brought them back to the committee. It seems like a very sensible redevelopment and it is certainly better to catch it now than at some point once the building has been redeveloped. It is a good proposal, and I recommend the report to the house.

Motion carried.
