Philip Kennedy Centre

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (16:36): A supplementary question to the Minister for Health. Is the state government's policy document 'Palliative Care Services Plan 2009-16', which recommended major changes to the Philip Kennedy Centre, still state government policy?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Health Industries) (16:35): Yes, it is, but obviously there is no palliative care service at Philip Kennedy. That section is now redundant. That $1.1 million that was being provided to Southern Cross Care to fund those palliative care services will now go to another organisation or organisations to ensure continuity of palliative care services to the people of the western suburbs.
