MENTAL HEALTH — NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANISATION
FUNDING — LOWER SOUTH WEST
142. Hon ADELE FARINA to the
Minister for Mental Health:
(1) Does the
state government through the Mental Health Commission provide funding to
non-government organisations in the lower south west to deliver acute mental
health services?
(2) If yes, which NGOs receive the funding and how much
funding does each NGO receive?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(2)
The answer is yes; of course there are acute mental health services provided to
non-government organisations by the Mental Health Commission throughout the
lower south west. I have provided the member previously with two pages of
information about the types, number and range of services that they provide,
and also the level of funding that they get.
I do not have that information at
my fingertips, but I do have the answer to the member's previous
question that precisely covers all that information. However, I would have to
go through my papers to find that. In preparation for what I imagine the member
wants to raise in members' statements, I have that information with me
in Parliament. I have provided the information to the member fully detailing
the types of services, the number of non-government organisations and the
funding that they get.
The PRESIDENT : The leaders get precedence to some extent;
so, Deputy Leader of the Opposition.
