Mental Health Beds

In reply to Ms PRATT (Frome) (30 June 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

For 2022-23 the cost to SA Health for contracting of private mental health beds in the Adelaide Clinic was $6.5 million. The Adelaide Clinic beds are contracted on a ‘needs’ basis.
