I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The information provided by the minister is — (1) It will not be released prior to the end of 2010. (2) It will be released in the early months of 2011. (3) The Mental Health Commission has received extensive high-level feedback on the consultation paper, and this is still being analysed and considered in developing the policy and plan. A summary report on this feedback will be released by the end of 2010. The feedback shows areas of agreement and also identifies gaps and indicates the need for an overarching and more strategic whole-of-government approach. The new Mental Health Commissioner and senior staff are taking time to understand the sector’s needs and meeting with key stakeholders.
