Patient Assistance Transport Scheme

Mr TRELOAR (Flinders) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Health. Is it true that PATS claimants still have to get signatures from specialists and scan and send referrals if they are applying through the new online portal?

Mr Marshall: This couldn't be true.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:47): 'This couldn't be true'—he doesn't even know what he's talking about. What a goose!

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Health is called to order for responding to interjections.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: My understanding is that the online portal has been very well received. There haven't been any issues that have been brought to my attention with any concerns about it, but if the member for Flinders has any particular concerns, then I am more than happy to have a look into them and see how those can be resolved.

Mr Marshall: He's just asked a specific question.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: 'A thpethific quethtion.'

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Health is warned.
