RESIDENTIAL EATING
DISORDER TREATMENT FACILITY
222. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
The federal Minister for Health and Aged Care, Mark Butler, stated that the
allocation of this facility was the Minister for Health's
responsibility. Why then has she not given this project the priority it
deserves like other states have?

I think I just explained that; it
is because it is not a genuine commitment, Leader of the Liberal Party. The
state government has shown its commitment with a $31 million investment into
supporting people with eating disorders and their families. That is our
commitment. It is not a commitment that was purely political, made with no
consultation and not based on evidence and best practice.
