Suicide Prevention

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): Supplementary based on the original answer: were the supporting staff to the Hon. John Dawkins' role as the Premier's Advocate for Suicide Prevention from the health department?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:08): The Premier's advocate is supported by both ministerial office staff and by public sector staff. The suicide prevention function has significantly shifted to Wellbeing SA, but there are some aspects of suicide prevention that remain with the Office of the Chief Psychiatrist.
