FLINDERS MEDICAL CENTRE

In reply to Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (15 May 2012).

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. It is expected that the review regarding the management of emergency patients at the Flinders Medical Centre will cost approximately $66,000.

2. The Adelaide Health Service was dissolved in 2010 with the creation of Local Health Networks, namely Central Adelaide Local Health Network, Northern Adelaide Local Health Network and Southern Adelaide Local Health Network.

The review included recommendations that are applicable to all hospitals and will be implemented across the state.
