Dialysis Transport Service

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (23 October 2018).

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

A total of 16 Aboriginal patients were affected by the Closing the Gap transport funding withdrawal. No treatments have been missed due to withdrawal of transport and SA Health is providing transport support to the 16 affected patients.

Furthermore, the Central Adelaide Local Health Network Aboriginal Health Service, Allied Health team and renal nursing and medical staff are working collaboratively towards a longer term solution. This will include a consumer engagement process.
