AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(5)
Any consideration of future bed numbers and services at the Graylands site will
need to be considered as part of the development of the 10-year mental health
services plan that is being developed jointly by the Mental Health Commission,
the Department of Health and the Drug and Alcohol Office. The first stage of
the plan will be provided to me, as Minister for Mental Health, by the end of
this year. It is anticipated that the plan will be completed by April 2014.
