LIVING WITH DIABETES PROGRAM
As a supplementary question, I have been a patient of this service since October. There are results for most of the people who are there, because they have not been rehospitalised. The SPEAKER : Member, you need to ask a question. Mrs C.A. MARTIN : Does the minister know how important this service really is; does he have any idea at all? That is my question. Dr K.D. HAMES

I am surprised that the member is involved in this service, because it is really for those who do not have the capacity with their own resources to manage the many issues that need to be managed for people who have diabetes. People who could otherwise do it through their general practice where those things are available — Mrs C.A. Martin : They referred them on. The SPEAKER : Member for Kimberley! Dr K.D. HAMES : Having said that, if the member is currently receiving that service, as I have said, she will continue to receive that service, so she should have no concerns.
