Mental Health Services

In reply to Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (26 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

1. As the majority of therapeutic psychology services on Eyre Peninsula are provided by private providers who either visit the region or provide services via digital telehealth (Skype etc), SA Health does not have this data.

2. I refer to the answer above.

3. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services comprise a multidisciplinary team spread across seven sites in northern country South Australia. The Eyre Peninsula team, with primary sites at Port Lincoln and Whyalla, comprises social workers, mental health nurses, psychologists, occupational therapists, consultant psychiatrist and Aboriginal consultancy staff.
