(1) As part of the North Metropolitan Area Health Service (NMAHS) Mental Health Clinical Services Plan a Specialist Rehabilitation Service will be developed on the Graylands Hospital Campus. A range of options for this service are currently being considered in conjunction with the Department of Planning and Infrastructure.
(2) The 30 bed mental health unit at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH) will include Psychiatric Intensive Care facilities for patients presenting as acutely behaviourally disturbed. Patients who present to the SCGH ED with complex mental health needs such as Acquired Brain Injury will be stabilised and then referred to the Neuropsychiatry beds at Graylands Hospital.
Fiona Stanley Hospital will provide 30 adult mental health beds for people with complex mental health needs. This will include 4 neuropsychiatric assessment beds. This will enable those patients who have both neurological (including Acquired Brain Injury) and psychiatric conditions to receive joint assessment and management within a tertiary teaching hospital mental health setting.
