          <by role="member" id="4837">Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (15:02):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health. Will the minister reverse the more than 20 per cent reduction in treatment bays at the Noarlunga Hospital emergency department in light of statistics showing that the proportion of presentations to the emergency department lasting four hours or less has declined by more than 10 per cent over the last five years?</text>

SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:03):</by>  No, I won't change the Noarlunga emergency department. It is working extremely well. We have released, for consultation, plans with regard to all the configuration changes at the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network. I think, on the whole, they have been pretty well received and I think all the stakeholders involved have been pretty reassured by what is in those plans.</text>
