Angaston District Hospital

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:57): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the Rural Doctors Workforce Agency been formally approached by the Barossa Hills Fleurieu LHN to add the Angaston District Hospital to the SAVES program? If so, when was that formal approach made?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:57): I will have to check the details in terms of the specific communication that has happened between the Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network and the Rural Doctors Workforce Agency, but we have been very clear that the government's intention is to have the SAVES program, which operates across dozens of country hospitals in South Australia, installed at the Angaston hospital. We are, between Barossa Hills Fleurieu and SA Health, working that through to make sure that can be established.
