Mount Gambier Hospital

Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (14:32): My question is to the Minister for Health. Following an incident at the Mount Gambier Hospital of an intruder with mental health issues threatening staff and putting patients at risk in the high dependency unit due to no security and no doors that lock, will the minister commit to installing security doors on both the high dependency and maternity units at the Mount Gambier Hospital?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:32): I am aware of that particular incident, and I undertake to get back to the member for Mount Gambier with what actions will be taken arising out of that particular incident.
