Indigenous Health Services

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:43): My question is to the Premier in his capacity as Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. Is the minister satisfied everything possible is being done to assist seriously ill Indigenous people forced to travel to Adelaide, often alone, to access health services, particularly with the provision of translators and liaison officers available 24 hours, seven days a week?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:44): It's a very broad question. If the member has anything specific that she would like to raise regarding people travelling from the APY lands down to Adelaide for treatment, then I am very happy to raise that issue with the relevant minister.
