AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Government has committed $130 000 this financial year to provide dental services in Newman. It includes adult and school dental services. The money is not part of the additional $2.4m recently committed for improving access to oral health services in rural and remote locations. The $2.4m to which the member refers will enable visiting dental services to be expanded to other parts of the State.
