I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The initial
focus of the strategy is on increasing awareness of the specific health and
mental health issues experienced by LGBTI people, and inclusion through
existing services. Establishing LGBTI-specific health services is a longer term
approach.
(2)–(5) Not applicable.
