Health Services

In reply to Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (24 July 2015). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries): There are no plans to transfer BIRCH Services into the new Royal Adelaide Hospital.

BIRCH Services will continue at two new sites, one at the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre and one at a yet to be determined location in the south.

The Felistow site has been handed to Renewal SA to manage as it was found to be in fair to poor condition.

The pool at the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre will continue to be available for BIRCH and community use.
