The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Transforming Health The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:33): I imagine they would if Modbury Hospital is able to deal with a particular presentation. Obviously, for serious, life-threatening type presentations, no; but for the vast majority of presentations, which Modbury Hospital continues to be able to deal with—and I think it would be in the realm of 90 to 95 per cent of the sorts of presentation which are currently presented at Modbury Hospital—they will continue to be able to be seen. And, yes, of course, if Lyell McEwin was busy there would be no reason whatsoever that an ambulance wouldn't be able to go on to the Modbury Hospital.
