MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES — BUDGET CUTS IN SOUTHERN SUBURBS
I have a supplementary question. I am happy to be corrected. Does the minister deny that there are documents in the department seeking cuts of approximately 13 per cent to mental health services in the southern suburbs? Dr G.G. JACOBS

As I have said, and I have spoken to the director general just this morning, there are no cuts to front-line services in mental health. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members!
