Health Review

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:39): My question is again to the Minister for Health. What modelling has the government done to assess the impacts of the proposed emergency department restructure on presentation numbers, and how many additional ED presentations does it estimate will present at each of the so-called super sites for major emergencies: the Flinders, the RAH and the Lyell Mac?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:40): We've done extensive modelling, and it amounts to many hundreds of pages of modelling, right across our health system and how the system will work in terms of presentation numbers right across our state. I am more than happy to—in fact I have written, and hopefully the letter has been received by the Leader of the Opposition, I have written to him inviting him to a briefing to go through all of these issues. I am more than happy to extend an offer to the member for Morphett. I think there's a briefing being provided tomorrow that all members of parliament have been invited to, and happy to go through questions in that sort of detail, but there is an extensive piece of work that has been done to support these proposals. I'm very confident in them.
