Country Health SA

Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Health. Why has the agreement between Country Health SA and the Kangaroo Island Medical Centre been revoked? Country Health SA and the Kangaroo Island Medical Centre previously had an agreement whereby the KI Medical Centre doctors were remunerated by Country Health SA for all patients irrespective of their Medicare status. KI doctors are now attending as called by Country Health but not getting paid for non-Medicare patients.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:47): I will have to get a report and happily get back to the member for Finniss on that. I have been spoken to about an issue with the Kangaroo Island payments, but I will double-check and get back to the member for Finniss.
