Women's and Children's Health Network Cochlear Implant Program

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the government contacted all families impacted by the cochlear implant program at the Women's and Children's Hospital. With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: A parent who asked to remain anonymous contacted the opposition saying, and I quote:

I have never received a letter or a phone call from the Women's and Children's Hospital or anyone despite my two girls having their mapping done there for the first few years of having their cochlear implants.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:43): I again reiterate what I said, I believe yesterday, which was that the Women's and Children's Health Network have contacted those families involved in the program and are in the process of contacting people who had already left the program. That's the advice they have provided to me. I am happy to follow up if the member wants to provide any contact details and we can make sure that they're connected to the Women's and Children's Health Network to ensure that they are appropriately followed up. I certainly don't have anything to add to that answer that I gave yesterday.
