Flinders Medical Centre

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the government identified the condition of the 80-year-old woman who left Flinders Medical Centre on Monday after being ramped for 2½ hours and, if so, what is her condition?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:49): I am aware of a case on Tuesday. I am advised that Flinders Medical Centre emergency clinicians made contact with a patient's family. Through his family, the patient was advised to come back to the emergency department. They declined the offer. The family were given contact details for the ED. It's important that South Australians are given the best care possible in a timely manner. We strive to do so.
