Women's and Children's Health Network Cochlear Implant Program

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (15:00): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the minister or SA Health written to all families who have received cochlear implants at the Women's and Children's Hospital advising them of the avenues for a second opinion? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: Families can get a second opinion from a private provider with no out-of-pocket cost.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): I know that there has been extensive contact with the families from the Women's and Children's Health Network in terms of follow-up in relation to this care, and I know that they are also in the process of contacting people who have left the program over the course of a much longer period of even more years. In terms of the content of that letter and whether that specific inclusion is made, I will have to take that on notice.
