Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:43): I have a supplementary: the minister spoke about longer term plans to ease pressure at ED presentations. What are his plans to relieve pressure at EDs in the coming weeks when the flu season starts to mount?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:43): I thank the honourable member for his question. Directly relevant to that are the two initiatives that I have already mentioned. The Urgent Mental Health Care Centre will be increasing its capacity and also the Flinders Medical Centre redevelopment will be coming online in the next two months.
