SA Health is reforming the administration of the public health system, with the Central Northern Adelaide Health Service (CNAHS) and Southern Adelaide Health Service (SAHS) will combine to form the Adelaide Health Service (AHS).

The Public Service Association (PSA) is attending the Adelaide Health Service Consultative Committee Meetings.

A formal consultation document has now been released. The PSA members now have the opportunity to provide feedback by close of business on Monday 21 June 2010 via email adelaidehealthservice@health.sa.gov.au and/or via PSA Industrial Officer Sue Cummins on email sc@cpsu.asn.au before midday on Monday 21 June 2010.

The PSA has provided some initial feedback to Mr Martin Turner, Acting Chief Executive Officer of AHS, and are concerned about the statement in the bulletin released by Mr Turner that many of the issues identified in the initial responses from unions and senior management of the two regional health services will not be considered until post implementation (1 July 2010) once the senior management positions with the proposed structure are made.

The PSA will release an Information Update to inform PSA Members of any pertinent information.
