694 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (3 April 2019). What is the fiscal impact to the budget of the outsourcing of ambulance transfer services between the Modbury and Lyell McEwin hospitals, as announced in the minister's budget media release?

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

The Northern Adelaide Local Health Network, through a recently appointed contractor, has approached the market for the provision of a dedicated transport service for inter-hospital transfers between Modbury and Lyell McEwin hospitals.

Following the selection of a preferred provider, the budget impact will be able to be assessed.
