Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): If closing the Repat, closing rehab facilities in South Australia and cutting emergency department facilities in South Australia are described in your own press release as the 'initial decisions' regarding Transforming Health, what else is in store?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:32): What we have described them as being are in-principle decisions which give us the basis to undertake further consultation. We realise that there is still an enormous amount of detail that's going to have to be gone through. Decommissioning a site and all the reforms—a huge suite of reforms—which are included in this document require an enormous amount of detail and an enormous amount of work that needs to be undertaken. We will be doing that in strong consultation with people who work in SA Health—with clinicians, with nurses, with doctors, allied health—and consumers, of course, and, with regard to the Repat, with veterans.
