          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28):</by>  Supplementary arising from the original answer: can the minister confirm that it is the case that every ICU bed has access to their own ventilator, so we could have ventilators used on every single ICU bed in the state at once. Is that what the minister is claiming?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:29):</by>  I am advised that there are, as I said, more than 300 intensive care beds in South Australia, including both the current intensive care beds, expansions within the ICUs and potential surge capacity outside of the ICUs. There are both standard ICU ventilators and anaesthetic and other ventilators, which more than cover the 300-plus ICU beds and beyond.</text>
