I thank the member for some notice of this question. Both inpatient and community services for adolescents and youth will be considered as part of the state mental health plan. The plan is currently out for consultation, with responses due back by 29 September 2010. Following this, a blueprint will be prepared for development of services, including the Bentley adolescent unit.
