Country Hospitals

25 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (16 May 2018). Will the South Coast, Gawler and Mount Barker hospitals be incorporated in metropolitan regions or country regions under the government's new proposals?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): I have been advised:

The six country local health networks that will be established are based on the current Country Health SA regional boundaries. As such the South Coast (Victor Harbor), Gawler and Mount Barker hospitals will continue to remain part of a country region.
