I thank the member for the question. As the member knows, I have indicated that this report is a really important voice for the people around the state who have mental illnesses, particularly those people who are in involuntary care. It is eight weeks since I became the minister and I have read that report from cover to cover. I have had discussions with the Director General of Health, the Commissioner for Public Sector Standards, the chair of the Council of Official Visitors and the Mental Health Commissioner. I am still waiting for some information from those people. When that information has been received, the report will be tabled but, more importantly, the government’s response to the issues that have been raised in the report will also be tabled.
