Health Review

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): Finally, on a supplementary: how much is budgeted for advertising and promotional material in order to sell the reforms beyond the final decision being made by cabinet?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:13): I dispute the premise of the question, which is that somehow this is selling something. What we are attempting to do is to make sure that South Australians have proper information. As I say, we make no apology for making sure and taking every effort we possibly can to make sure that South Australians have the proper information in front of them so that they know with regard to their local hospitals what services are offered, what new services are proposed, if services are shifting how they are going to be shifted, and how they are going to access the health services they need.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I'm happy to. I will have a look and be happy to.
