My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. One in nine women suffer endometriosis, a condition that causes severe pelvic pain and sometimes infertility. The federal government has funded one endometriosis clinic for South Australia, but it's located in Kadina, 150 kilometres from Adelaide and where less than one per cent of the South Australian population live, leaving women in my electorate in pain without services or support. When will the government fund a clinic accessible to the other 99 per cent of South Australia's women?
