Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): Thank you, sir. Given that one of the principal symptoms of a stroke is dizziness, is the minister suggesting to the house and to the people of South Australia, that anybody in South Australia going forward experiencing dizziness should present themselves at the Royal Adelaide Hospital emergency department?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:12): Anyone who thinks they might be having a stroke should not be driving themselves to hospital. That would be the most foolish thing someone could do. If you think you are having a stroke, you call an ambulance.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before the leader asks another question, the leader and the deputy leader are warned for the second and the final time. The leader.
