TAXI VOUCHERS

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:24): I will try again. My question is to the Deputy Premier. Did the government conduct an assessment of the cost impact on families of the withdrawal of taxi voucher funding to renal dialysis patients at the same time as introducing public parking fees in hospitals?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure) (14:24): Again, the member for Morphett asserts something in his question. I would be very careful before I accepted it; in fact, I will check thoroughly because it is inconsistent with the advice I have been given, that is, that there has been a budget savings on taxis.

Dr McFetridge interjecting:

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: We will take that on board but, again—

Mr Pisoni: Concerning the parking, the parking fees are there.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: I do not understand why the member for Morphett is so reluctant to ask the actual Minister for Health questions.

Dr McFetridge: You don't get an answer, mate.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Oh well, you can have another one of those. I will check all of the information provided by the member for Morphett. I will check it thoroughly, but I will say this: I take everything that the member for Morphett says with a grain of salt.

The SPEAKER: The member for Florey.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Florey will be heard in silence.
