MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Coronavirus The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): Supplementary arising from the—I guess it is an answer. Is the minister saying there are 60 ventilators currently in South Australia, or is he saying he is getting a further 60 ventilators in South Australia? If it is a further 60, when will they arrive and what will that bring the total number to? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Coronavirus The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28): I appreciate that the honourable member is offering questions written by others, but let's be clear: an ICU bed has access to ventilators, and we have 60 ventilators for extra surge capacity. In other words, we do expect that we will be using ventilators in unorthodox locations. I have already told the house that. For example, it has been suggested that we might be using ventilators in recovery areas—areas that are normally used for surgery recovery. That is a sensible response to what is an unprecedented pandemic.
