Site Contamination, Clovelly Park and Mitchell Park

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:58): My question is to the Minister for Health. Given that the Premier has committed to providing free health checks for people affected by contamination at Clovelly Park and Mitchell Park, have residents been notified of these health checks and what do these health checks entail?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:59): I think the Premier made very clear publicly that any resident in the affected areas would be able to access whatever health advice or health checks that they needed. Whether any direct communication has been made to the people affected in those areas with regard to those matters would be handled by the EPA. I can get a report back for the house and let the honourable member know.
