“WA MENTAL HEALTH TOWARDS 2020: CONSULTATION PAPER”
I refer to question without notice 755 in which the minister, then the parliamentary secretary, said — The final WA mental health policy and plan that will outline the state government’s policy for mental health and provide a blueprint for mental health priorities and reform in WA over the next decade is planned for release at the end of 2010. I refer also to question 1008, in which she said that the final Western Australian mental health policy and plan will be released in early 2011. When in early 2011 will the government’s policy or blueprint for mental health in Western Australia be released? Hon HELEN MORTON

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. Consistent with my previous answer, although no specific date was given, the Western Australian mental health policy is being finalised and will be released in early 2011. The strong message I am receiving from the community and the mental health sector is that the strategy and plan need to take into account the funding of some initiatives. Bearing that in mind, I am considering this responsibly in light of the upcoming state budget.
