Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Coronavirus Coronavirus The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Coronavirus The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:20): Supplementary regarding testing: what's the maximum acceptable time between someone being tested and that person getting the results back? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Coronavirus The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:20): I thank the honourable member for her question, because I suspect there is no maximum time, but it does give me the opportunity to highlight the benefits yet again of point-of-care testing. The reason why I say that is because my understanding is that South Australians who are resident on the APY lands can wait days for pathology results and COVID-19 results in particular. That's why we welcome the commonwealth initiative to establish point-of-care testing in remote communities. I am advised that the commonwealth is facilitating two point-of-care testing sites—let's just say at least two—on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands. To have the capacity on the lands to test people who may be possible carriers of COVID-19 is particularly important. The health infrastructure on the lands is not at a high level. It is primarily a primary healthcare network provided by Nganampa Health Council. It of course would be a challenge to respond to COVID-19 on the lands. It brings me back to the comment I made earlier about the health ministers' conference earlier this year, when there were four particular risk groups that were highlighted; one of those was people in remote communities.
