I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1) The Bentley
older adult mental health program has one full-time equivalent clinical
psychologist. The occupant has been on maternity leave during the last 12
months and it has been difficult to find skilled staff to provide leave cover.
As such, the position has been filled intermittently, previously at 0.6 FTE and
currently with 0.4 FTE.
(2)–(3) One
FTE clinical psychologist.
