Will the government employ full-time paediatric neurologists so that the families of the 600 children with refractory epilepsy (that is, uncontrolled with medication) are able to access to suitable in South Australia rather than having to travel interstate? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health and Ageing Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister for Defence Industries Minister for Veterans' Affairs PAEDIATRIC HEALTH The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:33): I will double-check but, yes, my understanding is that that has happened. I will double-check with my department. It certainly was the plan to convert that position from being basically a locum service into a full-time consultant paediatric neurologist, but I will double-check.
