Ms PRATT (Frome) (15:24): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. How many psychiatrists have been recruited to the state public system this financial year? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Ms PRATT: The EY report, Psychiatry Workforce Plan South Australia, states that there are currently estimated to be 17 open but unfilled roles in South Australia, increasing to 23 later this year.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:24): I will take on notice the exact numbers.
