What is the cost of contracting general practitioners to provide Accident and Emergency services at the Port Pirie Hospital for 2019-20 and 2018-19, and what is the projected cost for 2020-21?
Hon John Gardner MP: The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised that:
“In 2018/19 the cost of contracting general practitioners to provide Accident and Emergency services at the Port Pirie hospital was $1.1 million.
In 2019/20 the cost of contracting general practitioners to provide Accident and Emergency services at the Port Pirie hospital was nil, as a locum model was used.
The projected cost for general practitioners to provide Accident and Emergency services at the Port Pirie hospital in 2020/21 is nil, as a locum model is being used.”
