AnswerView source ↗
I thank the
member for some notice of this question.
The Mental
Health Commission and the Department of Health are actively working towards
addressing all of the recommendations in the Stokes review, including consultation
with a wide range of other stakeholders where appropriate. The Western
Australian government's response, published in November 2012, indicated
that many of the recommendations would require medium to long-term solutions
and have response time frames from at least six months to, at most, beyond 24
months. Work on all recommendations has commenced. Progress on the
implementation of actions to address the recommendations is reported each
quarter to an implementation partnership group, which has a very broad
membership, including people with mental illness and carers, and is chaired by
Mr Barry MacKinnon. Each meeting will be followed by the issuing of a chairman's
report and a communique. This information will be posted on the Mental Health
Commission's website in the near future and I will be happy to provide
that information to the member as soon as it becomes available.
