Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Dialysis Transport Service Dialysis Transport Service The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Dialysis Transport Service The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Supplementary arising from the original answer: what representation has the minister made to anyone in the federal government on this issue; and has the minister read the petition that has been started in relation to this issue? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Dialysis Transport Service The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:47): I will certainly get a briefing on this as to what extent—if you like, to what entity would be the best to engage in relation to these services. My understanding is that Adelaide PHN is a statutory authority of the commonwealth and I doubt if the commonwealth minister is in a position to direct them. In terms of advocating, I will certainly look forward to a briefing, but the primary task at the moment is to make sure that we—considering this service has already stopped as at 1 October—work with patients to ensure they continue to have access to this very important service.
