Rural Health Workforce

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:10): Supplementary: when will this Rural Health Workforce Strategy the minister referred to throughout his answer deliver a reinstatement of maternity services at Waikerie and a return of maternity services at Millicent as per the Marshall team's pre-election promise?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:10): The opposition trades in half-truths. I am afraid—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Let the minister answer the question.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Unfortunately, in this case, I am not sure if there is even half a truth to it. I would like the honourable member to specify where I ever committed to the reinstatement of Millicent birthing services since the former Labor government closed those services in July 2013.
