          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:40):</by>  The first comment I would make is that the decisions in relation to freeing up spare capacity that were announced on Friday relate to the Central Adelaide Local Health Network. Each health network needs to manage their own bed stock to make sure that they can manage surges in demand. As far as I know, the 60 beds that CALHN is talking about is the extent of what they believe they need.</text>
