Women's and Children's Hospital

In reply to Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (26 November 2020).

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

1. There is no current outsourcing arrangement for paediatric or gynaecology surgery from the Women's and Children's Hospital (WCH).

From December 2019-June 2020 WCH outsourced 186 patients who were treated at either Adelaide Community Healthcare Alliance Memorial Hospital or Calvary Hospital.

2. The consultant expenditure on the WCH Sustainment project between 1 July 2018-30 June 2020 was $3.03 million.
