Hospital Beds

63 63Mrs HURN (Schubert) (12 September 2023). How many hospital beds has the government brought online since the 2022 election?

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

The Malinauskas Labor government is opening more beds and hiring hundreds more doctors and nurses across the health system as part of our record investment in health.

This includes more than 600 beds across the system, with 150 inpatient beds to open in 2024 alone to help improve patient flow and reduce bed block.
