SA Budget targets 10 month waiting times

The South Australian Budget for 2006/07 was handed down today, and highlighted "a $12.9m dental package to provide restorative dental care to 28,000 people over the next four years, with waiting times to be cut to 10 months".

A media release issued by SA Treasurer and Deputy Premier Kevin Foley MP (pictured) refers.

No such waiting time target has yet been set by any of the candidates in the forthcoming Victorian election. Victorian waiting times continue to be well over a year on average and in the worst cases are well over 5 years.
