It was great to have Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, in Adelaide today announcing a once in a generation upgrade to Flinders Medical Centre.
Joined by SA Premier Peter Malinauskas; Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler MP; Louise Miller-Frost, Member for Boothby; and Erin Thompson, Member for Davenport, the PM announced an extra 26 new acute inpatient beds will open at Flinders Medical Centre in the next few weeks to help ease pressure on the hospital’s emergency department.
A further 16 beds – from the 136 that will be added as part of the $400 million jointly-funded upgrade – will be fast-tracked to open in the first half of next year. Four years ahead of schedule.
The Albanese Government will continue to work with the Malinauskas Government to deliver for South Australia.
