Drug and Alcohol Services

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:11): Supplementary, sir: how will the relocation of DAASA Central Services affect those seeking alcohol and drug-related treatment and support?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:11): The transfer of the new facility to Stepney is underway. I am looking forward to launching that shortly. I am going to talk to the department about the ongoing provision. As we always do, we will maintain our existing services and help the people who need help in this area, which is a critical area for South Australians. It is a whole-of-government approach and a whole-of-community approach. We take our efforts to help people who are suffering from the illness of an addiction very seriously.
