SA Dental Service

1216 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (11 September 2019). Are there any plans to reinstate the Nuriootpa dental clinic that was closed down in December last year?

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

Until December 2018, the SA Dental Service Nuriootpa Community Dental Clinic was located in a leased facility, providing both child and adult public dental care. The lease on this premises expired on 21 December 2018. SA Dental Service was not offered a lease extension by the landlord and was forced to close the clinic at short notice. SA Health is currently assessing future infrastructure options for services in the Barossa Valley.
