PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:26):</by>  The South Australian Virtual Emergency Service, otherwise known as SAVES, is in operation at a lot of sites already across the state. I don't have the full list in front of me, but I am happy to take that on notice. What we were able to announce this morning was that Barossa Hills Fleurieu will soon be installing that at Angaston hospital, which is the hospital where there's clearly a need for it in terms of pressure on the GPs who have had to reduce the number of days on which they are covering that very small emergency department, from seven down to four, and this will hopefully provide some additional support for them particularly in the overnight hours.</text>
