Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): Supplementary: will emergency medicine training positions continue to be offered at the Noarlunga Hospital post the Transforming Health changes?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:18): The College for Emergency Medicine has raised this issue with me, and what we envisage will be able to happen is the training positions will operate on an LHN level. So, we will have the same number of training positions, but they will be done by the local health network. We would expect that the trainees for those emergency positions will rotate between the two departments within the LHN—so yes.
