Illicit Drug Use

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:07): Supplementary: I hope that answer was not to detract from the fact that we have analyses that reveal that SA has the highest number of this new street name, meow meow, drug in the country. My specific question in relation not to regional areas but to South Australia as a whole is: have any additional funds been allocated in this budget for drug abuse and addiction in South Australia?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:08): Yes, there has. We have put in $1.8 million over four years to help fund the youth treatment order program. We believe that will be a valuable last resort program for young people.
