Health Consumers Alliance

558 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (13 February 2018). Where is the funding cut from the Health Consumers Alliance being reallocated?

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

In state budget setting processes, the prioritisation of funding is assessed on a whole, therefore, there is no specific reallocation of funding that was otherwise directed to the Health Consumers Alliance.

However, in line with other savings initiatives from the 2018-19 state budget, the funding has been reinvested back into the health system with such operating initiatives, including the $800 million investment over the forward estimates to establish a sustainable, efficient health system.
