Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): Is the minister suggesting that he doesn't have a workforce reduction number that the government is working towards?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:13): No, we don't because, as I have said before, what we do in terms of the acute bed numbers is very much a work in progress and will depend upon our ability to shift resources away from acute hospital beds, where we are too heavy on, and into subacute beds and investments in the components of our health workforce who get people out of hospital and back home.
