The reviews commenced in April. The purpose of the reviews is to obtain a comprehensive and updated view of where the potential areas of significant savings and governance compliance issues are and to provide remedial recommendations and implementation plans to address these findings. The review will cover the seven major metropolitan hospitals, being Royal Adelaide Hospital, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Lyell McEwen Hospital, Modbury Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre, Repatriation General Hospital and Noarlunga Hospital. The results of this review will be used to inform Cabinet regarding the savings strategies that SA Health will implement in order to deliver a balanced budget.
