Transforming Health

In reply to Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (1 December 2016).

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries): I am advised:

1. The total cost to mail letters to the Flinders Medical Centre, Noarlunga Hospital and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital catchment areas was $83,722.09 (excluding GST).

2. The communications strategy, which included letters to residents as an approved communications tactic, was approved by Premier's Communications Advisory Group (PCAG).

PCAG did not raise any concerns about statements and information contained in the communications strategy.

3. PCAG delegated approval of final versions of tactics contained in the strategy to Government Communications Advice and no statements were rejected.
