Medi-Hotels

In reply to Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (26 November 2020). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

1. The Medi-Hotel Program is overseen by the Effective Quarantine Workstream. Contracts are in place with each hotel, with a designated contract manager in the Department for Health and Wellbeing (DHW).

2. The Effective Quarantine Workstream has an executive lead, the Deputy Chief Executive, Commissioning and Performance and an operational lead, Deputy Chief Public Health Officer.

3. Key risks, issues, progress and mitigating strategies are addressed through workstream meetings each week and reported to DHW Leadership. Additional meetings are convened where required to ensure timely response to any current or emerging risks. Risk activities are identified, captured, monitored and reported to DHW leadership. Regular review and monitoring, as often as daily, of risk responses has occurred through the workstream meetings and out of session.

4. Yes, in accordance with established SA Health incident management and open disclosure policy and practice frameworks.
