QuestionView source ↗
I refer to modelling contained in the Better Choices. Better Lives, Western Australian Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan 2015-2025 that “effectively shows an optimal level and mix of services and where the imbalances and underinvestment are in the current mental health, alcohol and other drug system”. With regards to the Plan Matrix table on page 105 and 106, I ask: (a) can the Minister update the current (September Quarter 2018) details of the existing service types, levels and locations across Western Australia; and (b) what is the existing gap between the current service types, levels and locations across Western Australia compared to the levels indicated that are required by the Commissions modelling based on population, demand and prevalence (September Quarter 2018)?
