Australian Craniofacial Unit

In reply to the Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (5 July 2018).

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

1. Professor David's key concern relates to the strategic direction of the ACFU after his retirement on 30 June 2018.

Other concerns relate to the employment of visiting medical specialists and post-graduate education opportunities.

2. The ACFU, through funding from the South Australian government, supports up to 15 patients per year as international humanitarian cases. These patients are supported for their medical treatment and accommodation and living expenses while in South Australia. These cases continue to be welcomed and there is no plan from the government to alter current arrangements.
