SHINE SA
The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:23): A supplementary again: where does the minister now suggest that the hundreds of people relying on SHINE SA's Davoren Park and Noarlunga Centre clinics now go if they are only going to be opening for one day or half a day a week or a month? Where do the rest of them go? Where does the minister suggest they visit—their own family GP?
The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, the supplementary has been asked.
The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:24): The South Australian government is continuing to fund SHINE SA. Anyone in South Australia, regardless of where they live, can call SHINE SA on 1300 794 584 and a staff member will assist them in getting the sexual health services they require.
In terms of the funding SA Health gives to SHINE, $4½ million of an annual grant, a significant portion of that is about education and training in clinical sexual health services to GPs. This is so that GPs across South Australia are supported to provide sexual health services to their communities, whether that be prescribing contraception, inserting IUDs or testing for STIs. Savings realised will be reallocated to prioritise South Australian government funding on sexual health and relationships education in the community and workforce development for clinicians managing people at risk of or diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection.
The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, a further supplementary.
