Coronavirus

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Supplementary for clarity: is the minister saying that in South Australia 300 ventilators could be used at once? Is the minister saying that each bed has access to its own ventilator or is he saying that the beds have access to a pool of ventilators? In essence, can the minister confirm that there are at least the number of ventilators available as there are ICU beds?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:30): Yes. Let me just expand on that: we have 60 more ventilators than we do ICU beds.
