Aboriginal Health

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:10): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Can the minister advise what action he has taken in response to the serious adverse findings that the Office of the Registrar of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations has made in relation to the Umoona Tjutagku Health Service in Coober Pedy?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:11): I thank the honourable member for his question. I know there have been concerns about governance to do with a range of issues in the Coober Pedy area with the Aboriginal community in particular in relation to the health service. I don't have any information on the specific matter that he raises but I'm more than happy to take that question on notice and bring back a prompt reply.
