AnswerView source ↗
First of all, I want to congratulate the members of the task
force on an outstanding report. It really is an outstanding report. It is a thorough, thoughtful,
well-put-together body of work by a task force led by Robyn Kruk and a ppointed
by former Minister for Mental Health Hon Roger Cook. It really is an
outstanding piece of work. It was provided to the government in November. We
have been working through the recommendations and it will go to cabinet
imminently and will be released shortly thereafter. I have written to members
of the task force thanking them for their work and committing to implementing
the recommendations and also to providing briefings to the parents of Kate Savage,
the Chief Psychiatrist and so on before it is publicly announced. That is the
appropriate process and that is the process that I will undertake. I am
absolutely committed to implementing the recommendations of that task force.
