My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. Can the minister explain if the current offers of redundancy packages within the Riverland health units will affect front-line health services, how many packages are on offer, and are these positions being replaced? 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 RIVERLAND HEALTH SERVICES 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) (14:55): I will have to get some advice from my department on this particular issue but, normally, when a redundancy is offered to a position it is because the position has gone. As to how and whether it will affect front-line services, I will get an answer for the member for Chaffey and get back to him.
