MENTAL HEALTH — REVIEWS
440. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for
Mental Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Dr
K.D. Hames interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Thank you very much, member for Dawesville! I call you to order
for the first time.
Mr
R.H. COOK : I understand that the minister is allowing that review to be
independent, but will she guarantee, as a part of that review process, to at
least keep those service dimensions in place—the 24/7 service and the
visits to both hospitals and community mental health settings?

As I said, I am waiting to see those
reviews presented to me. As I have also said, we will make sure we have the
best services available for young people suffering from mental health issues
and, out of that, we will do that.
Mr
R.H. Cook : So the minister will not guarantee that.
Ms
A.R. MITCHELL : I said that I will wait until the review is presented and I will
make sure we have the best service for young people with mental health issues.
