Woodleigh House

In reply to Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (18 June 2019).

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

In accordance with section 96 of the Mental Health Act 2009, the Chief Psychiatrist determined from 7 January 2019 Woodleigh House was subject to temporary conditions as a result of Chief Psychiatrist inspections of the physical condition and capacity of the Woodleigh House mental health unit.

The Northern Adelaide Local Health Network is currently working on the refurbishment of high-risk areas within Woodleigh House to address the recommendations of the Chief Psychiatrist and ensure the temporary conditions are removed.

There are no plans to demolish Woodleigh House.
