MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES

56 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (1 June 2010).

1. What is the current status of the 20 bed aged Acute Mental Health Unit at the Lyell McEwin Hospital, the two intermediate care facilities at Glenside and Noarlunga?

2. What is the current status of the 10 intermediate care beds for regional South Australia and where will they be located?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. The 20-bed Older Persons Mental Health Service Acute unit at the Lyell McEwin Hospital commenced operation in November 2009. The Eastern Intermediate Care Centre (ICC) at Glenside was opened on 14 December 2010 and the Southern ICC at Noarlunga was opened on 18 March 2011.

2. Country Health SA Local Health Network (CHSA) was allocated 30 of 90 Intermediate Care beds and places arising from the recommendations of the Social Inclusion Board's Stepping Up report.

The regional Intermediate Care rollout includes a mix of facility and community-based services.

Community-based services commenced from March 2011 at the four major country centres (Port Augusta, Whyalla, Port Lincoln, Mount Gambier) and Kangaroo Island.

Bed-based services will commence in-line with capital works programs in the four country general hospitals.
