Hospital Beds

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): My question is to the Premier. Why, as at 1pm today, does SA Health's dashboard show 105 unoccupied beds at the RAH, 44 unoccupied beds at The QEH and 13 unoccupied beds at the Noarlunga Hospital?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:20): I thank the member for the question. Obviously, he has identified a point in time—a very recent point in time—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The minister has the call.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: —I gather from the question—and of course the circumstances relating to the presentations at the hospitals, as the member has identified. I will seek an answer from the Minister for Health that is relevant to the context for that and bring it back to the house.
