Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Community Health Services COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:12): I seek leave to make a brief explanation prior to directing a question to the minister representing the Minister for Health on the subject of the government's response to the McCann review of non-hospital based services. Leave granted. The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: In March of this year, the government released, through SA Health, its response to the McCann review of non-hospital based services. Members will be aware that there was widespread opposition from a number of groups to some of the recommendations in the McCann review. The government's response was released almost three months ago. A number of issues were raised in that government response outlining the decision. I am seeking from the minister an update three months later as to what progress, if any, has been made. My questions are as follows: 1.	In relation to the government's decision for a single governance arrangement auspiced by the Women's and Children's Health Network by 1 July for the youth primary health services, is that timetable to be met and what will be the new name for the new service? 2.	Similarly, in relation to the decision for a single governance arrangement to be managed by the Women's and Children's Health Network by 1 July for the women's health services, is that to be implemented by that date and has a new name been selected for that particular service? 3.	In relation to the Community Foodies decision, the government's response was that it would continue, with the management to be transferred to an appropriate NGO. Can the government indicate what progress, if any, has been made three months later in relation to the transfer of management to an appropriate NGO? 4.	In relation to the children's primary health services, the decision was that there would be no change in the immediate term to current service and funding arrangements and to undertake a comprehensive review in due course. Has the minister commenced that comprehensive review and is the funding still being protected? 5.	In relation to the child protection services decision, the government said that a more detailed review would be undertaken in due course. Can the minister and the government indicate whether that more detailed review has commenced? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:14): I thank the honourable member for his most important question on the subject of the government's response to the McCann review of non-hospital based services. I undertake to take the question to the Minister for Health and Ageing in the other place and seek a response on his behalf.
