❓ Hon Donna Faragher questions the Minister for Mental Health regarding reduced funding allocations for three perinatal mental health pilot services in the 2022-23 financial year compared to 2021-22. The Minister explains the reduction was due to additional non-recurrent funding in 2021-22 and a review finding some services could maintain service levels with existing funding or had low demand.

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Perinatal
mental health pilot services received additional non-recurrent grant funding in
2021–22. A review of these pilot programs found that for 2022–23,
one provider offered a similar level of service with the additional funding
allocated in the grant and two providers had low demand for pilot services that
could continue to be met with the additional funding allocated in the grant.
