Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Further supplementary. Can the minister advise the house what these free medical checks will entail? What testing will be done, in what time frame, and what cost will it be to the people of South Australia?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:00): It will be whatever is medically appropriate. I am not a doctor. I am certainly not going to tell doctors who work in my department how to do their job. The doctors in the department will determine what is medically appropriate for the particular individuals involved. We will do everything we possibly can to ensure that any concerns of any resident in any of these affected areas are properly addressed.
