APY Lands Tuberculosis Outbreak

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (15:12): Supplementary: has the original cause of the outbreak been noted and, given the severity of the disease, what other measures have been put in place to make sure that people in the APY lands are protected?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:12): I thank the honourable member for her question. Not that I am aware of, but if that patient zero or original cause has been identified I am happy to bring back a response. As I have said, I know that SA Health is working with Nganampa Health Council to do screenings in communities where this has been detected.
