Patient Assistance Transport Scheme

93 93Mrs HURN (Schubert) (12 September 2023). In relation to the Patient Assistance Transport Scheme, what is the rate of the overnight subsidy for the financial year of 2022-23?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

Non-concession card holders are required to pay the first night's expenses in full but are eligible for a full subsidy for their second night of stay. Accommodation subsidies are provided at $40 plus GST for a patient and an additional $40 plus GST for an approved escort per night.
