The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:17): I apologise; I might have missed the end of the sentence there. Can the minister elaborate on what the process has been thus far for deciding how many sessions would be provided for self-referred users of the pool?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:18): I am advised that the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network is able to accommodate up to 340 self-help or community access visits per week at the new pool, which means that those who are currently using it will be able to use the pool one to two times per week; however, at different times. That is a short way of answering the question about availability. There may be issues in terms of different timings and so forth, and that's why I am happy to facilitate a conversation between the relevant officials and the people who have concerns.
