I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes. I now table a copy of the
terms of reference of the review.
[See paper 2032.]
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The review is
expected to commence in late October–early November. Unfortunately, a member
of the review panel recently stepped down as they are now moving interstate. A
replacement reviewer is currently being sourced. The timing and methodology of
the review will be determined, in large part, by the review panel; however, it
is anticipated the review will be finalised within six months.
(4)–(5) The
minister does not intend to undertake any substantive changes to mental health
governance or services until such time as the review is complete; however, the
minister remains responsive to the needs of the mental health system and the
community and therefore cannot unequivocally rule out any changes.
