(b) what proportion of the budget is specifically allocated to Peel Mental Health Service including staffing budget, programs and facilities budget; and

(a) $13,789,951.
(b) 24.24%. Note: Some positions are shared across both sites but are costed to Rockingham.
(c) No. None of the current public mental health services in Peel are expected to be privatised. Peel and Rockingham Kwinana is one district within South Metropolitan Area Health Service - Mental Health and as such some positions are shared across the two sites. There are no plans to redistribute resources between the two sites.
