House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Coronavirus Coronavirus Mr PICTON House of Assembly Kaurna Coronavirus Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:47): My question is to the Premier. Exactly how many ventilators does our state have right now? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Coronavirus The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:47): I don't have that information with me at the moment, but I know that this is something that we are working on very carefully. I know that Dr Evan Everest, who is one of the three deputy chief public health officers in South Australia, is charged with the responsibility of determining how many we have and how many will be available for this and to significantly increase our capacity, not just for beds, which are a part of it, but also for both the ventilators and the ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) capability that we need in South Australia. We are working very diligently on all of the things that we need to have in place. I am very happy to provide an update as soon as it comes through.
