553 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (13 February 2018). On what basis did the government conclude that SHINE SA's services cut in the 2018-19 budget would be covered by the medical benefits scheme, as stated in the minister's budget day media release on the topic?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

SHINE SA has been working toward sustainability of their clinical services through the medical benefits scheme since 2014.
