PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:14):</by>  I know the South Australian Ambulance Service, through the Chief Executive Officer, Rob Elliott, and its senior staff, have been making great strides to make sure that they are in contact with Eddie's mother to make sure that she has the appropriate information and support that she needs. I have confidence that they will continue to do that.</text>
        <text id="20240305cf5d0269da694615b0000366">I will certainly raise the suggestion that the member has raised, if there is any need for a support person. I am certainly very happy as the minister for that to occur, and I am sure that the chief executive would be happy for that to occur. But ultimately, that would be a matter for Eddie's mother, if she would want that or not.</text>
