I refer to the state-wide Pathways service that provides assessment, treatment and support for children aged six to 12 years with complex and longstanding mental health difficulties, which is delivered through the Child and Adolescent Health Service, and I ask, will the Minister advise the current median wait times for children to receive an initial assessment to access this service?
