Queen Elizabeth Hospital

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (29 November 2016).

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries): I have been advised:

Consultation was recently undertaken on a proposal to relocate rehabilitation services from Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH). After listening to clinicians, staff and consumers on the planned transfer of services to TQEH, Central Adelaide Local Health Network will establish a number of working groups to discuss and address a number of matters that were identified during consultation.

As part of the 2017-18 budget the state government announced a $250 million investment towards stage 3 of TQEH's redevelopment. This will include a larger, new state-of-the-art emergency department, operating theatre, day surgery suite, new outpatient and medical imaging services and the state's most advanced brain and spinal injury rehabilitation service.
