38 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (16 May 2018). Has the Minister received any advice whatsoever regarding a stand-alone HDU receiving accreditation from the College of Intensive Care Medicine of Australia and New Zealand?

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

The Minister for Health and Wellbeing can confirm that he has received advice from SA Health indicating accreditation from the College of Intensive Care Medicine of Australia and New Zealand would be unlikely with the establishment of a high dependency unit without appropriate intensive care unit support.
