MENTAL HEALTH BEDS

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:45): As a supplementary question, does the minister have any indication of how many of the existing staff will go to Murray Bridge?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (14:45): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. Currently we are in discussions with staff and clinicians. We are working through the incentives in terms of what could be required to attract staff members. We are looking at transport issues and incentives for relocation. The facility will not be built for a long time yet. We have a long way to go. Mount Barker is one of our most rapidly expanding residential areas in all South Australia. There is a great deal of potential out there. We will continue with discussions and negotiations.
