A South Australian Parliamentary Select Committee is calling for submissions on access to urinary tract infection (UTI) treatment in the state.
The Select Committee on Access to Urinary Tract Infection Treatment has been established to inquire and report on barriers facing sufferers of UTIs in gaining timely access to treatment, and the applicability of implementing Qld's UTI Community Pharmacy Service in South Australia.
Written submissions and expressions of interest to appear before the committee are sought by 10 Feb 2023.
The Committee was introduced pursuant to a motion by state Labor MP Jayne Stinson, who is Chair of the inquiry established with cross-party support.
Rather than launching a trial as has been done in NSW and Vic, Stinson said she was aware of divergent opinions, and wanted to "tease out those questions, seek out answers and the most appropriate arrangements to suit patient needs" - info on 08 8237 9284.
