Silicosis

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:29): Supplementary: is the minister aware of any assistance being given to injured workers to get a diagnosis of silicosis in this state?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:30): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am aware that particularly our public health system looks after workers and South Australians generally. I know there is work being done to look at a better way to measure the incidence of these occurrences, and of course we are considering amendments to the Return to Work system in relation to dust diseases.
