Woodleigh House

747 Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (25 August 2021). Where will acute adult mental health services currently provided at Woodleigh House be accessed following the decommissioning of Woodleigh House beds?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

The Northern Adelaide Local Health Network will be undertaking a review of all acute adult inpatient mental health services based on population modelling and current demand.

This will include consideration of how the announcement of the decommissioning of Woodleigh House and the development of a Northern Crisis Retreat Centre with the additional 16 respite beds will impact service delivery and access for people in the north and north-east seeking mental health services.

Formal discussions and consultation regarding the decommissioning of Woodleigh House beds will occur in the near future.
