Lyell McEwin Hospital

218 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (25 July 2018). When will the Lyell McEwin Hospital Short Stay Mental Health Unit come online?

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

The new LMH Short Stay Mental Health Unit will be integrated and delivered as part of the $58.0 million LMH Emergency Department (ED) Redevelopment project. This project is currently in concept design with construction anticipated to commence in mid-2019.

In the interim, the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network are working with clinical staff and the department to consider suitable options to allow the re-establishment of a temporary short stay mental health unit to deliver these services until the permanent unit is delivered as part of the LMH ED redevelopment.
