Limestone Coast Radiation Treatment

Ms PRATT (Frome) (15:09): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the minister considered the radiation oncology access coalition's response to the Mount Gambier therapy service feasibility and, if so, what action is he taking? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Ms PRATT: On 18 August, the radiation oncology access coalition provided a response to the minister.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:10): I understand we have received a letter that will be given due consideration. We will receive advice from the Limestone Coast Local Health Network. I do make clear again what I said in the parliament yesterday in relation to the question from the member for MacKillop that we undertook a process where suitable experts were brought in to provide a full analysis of the feasibility. Those experts were able to assess that independently and provided a report to the board. That has been released publicly and we are now looking at how we can implement those recommendations in the report about improving cancer access to people who live in the Limestone Coast.
