Road Toll

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:35): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, representing the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, a question regarding the road toll.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: The road toll in South Australia continues to grow at an alarming rate, currently standing at 53 fatalities, which is 19 more than at the same time last year. I understand an urgent forum was organised in May amongst the state's road safety experts to address the rising road toll. Can the Minister advise the outcome of this meeting, with details about the initiatives to be implemented?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:36): I thank the honourable member for his question and undertake to seek an answer from the minister in the other place.
