Assaults in Hospitals

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:11): Supplementary: is the government considering providing additional support for regional hospitals in particular?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:11): I thank the honourable member for his question. I know it is something that the Minister for Health is acutely aware of. I know the Minister for Health has visited dozens and dozens of hospitals right across South Australia. We were recently, last week, at a country cabinet in the Adelaide Plains area just north of Adelaide where the Minister for Health visited some more of our regional health services, so I know it is something he is keen to make sure that we see: the best health services being provided for South Australians regardless of where they live.
