(4) Do these patients have access to the Council of Official Visitors, which visits the facility on a regular basis to ensure that the rights of patients are respected? (5) If not, why not? (6) If the answer is no for the reason that they are not included as an “affected person” under the Mental Health Act 1996, will the minister amend the act so that they will be included? (7) Is any consideration being given to providing alternative accommodation to Graylands for people who have an acquired brain injury and difficult-to-manage behaviour? Hon SUE ELLERY

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I am advised that the Department of Health requires more time to gather the necessary data in response to the question. I therefore request that the question be placed on notice.
