VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:39):</by>  Drug and Alcohol Services SA provides triage and support for people facing addiction and substance abuse issues across the state, from regional and remote locations through to the city. We also have phone triage.</text>
        <text id="201704116bc63dcaf5344cc1b0000597">There are good protocols to ensure that people access the system and the services they need when appropriate. I would have to seek advice about the particular time lines, depending on the particular addictions and the particular condition that that consumer may be seeking at that time. I am not a clinician. I am led by their decision-making and I respect that.</text>
