MENTAL HEALTH COMMISSION — ACCOMMODATION
262. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for
Mental Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Surely, the minister could have found more affordable accommodation for her
staff while at the same time not having to forget about the needs of patients.

I refer the member back to an
earlier part of an answer I gave in which I said that cabinet had approved the
relocation of this commission in July 2014. Unfortunately, my influence in that
area was not as close as it is now and therefore I think that is the answer to
that question.
