          <by role="member" id="4363">The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:46):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing on the topic of medi-hotels. How many people have been accommodated in medi-hotels since we initiated this process; how many have applied for an exemption from the payment, either through a deferral or payment plan or a full exemption; and how many have been granted that exemption?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:47):</by>  As at 12 October 2020, South Australia has been privileged to provide hospitality to 4,552 international arrivals and 1,059 interstate arrivals, and that is hospitality within the medi-hotels. In terms of the total fees, as at 7 October total fees generated under the payment program total $3.9 million, I am advised, but that is in terms of invoices issued, as I understand it, rather than payments received. As I understand it, the actual cost recovery payments received is $0.515 million. In terms of applications for exemptions and the like, I will take that part of the question on notice.</text>
