Silverchain

585 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (13 February 2018). What contracts or arrangements with the State Health System does Silverchain or RDNS have and what are the costs?

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

There are no contracts or arrangements with Silverchain other than as guarantor to certain contracts in its capacity as parent company to RDNS.

There are a few contracts with RDNS for mostly community based medical, allied health and nursing services, most of which are long standing arrangements with RDNS. While two contracts commenced in 2018, they replaced contracts with RDNS that were in place since 2015 supporting long standing clinical programs, Community Care Program and Transition Care/Care Awaiting Placement Programs. The two contracts with RDNS are panel contracts that resulted from an open market approach.
