Regional GP Services

1226 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (11 September 2019). What regional hospitals are currently without a general practitioner, have advertised a vacancy for a general practitioner, or were without a general practitioner at any stage in the 12 months preceding 1 July 2019?

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

Regional hospitals contract with, rather than employ, general practitioners.
