Regional Hospitals

605 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (24 August 2021). What is the total spend to date on legal fees in representing SAAS and which regional hospitals have medical coverage solely from locum doctors?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

Millicent and District Hospital and Health Service has had medical coverage provided solely by locums for the last five years. This is a planned approach, as there is a long-term contract in place with one locum provider, which was won by a tender process.

Balaklava Soldiers' Memorial District Hospital, Booleroo Centre District Hospital and Health Services, Peterborough Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, Port Lincoln Health Service, Port Augusta Hospital and Coober Pedy Hospital currently have medical coverage solely from locum doctors.
