AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)–(2) Providing the information in the time required is not possible, and I request that the member place the question on notice. (3)–(4) The structure of the Mental Health Commission is currently being finalised. As soon as the appointment of existing staff to those new positions has been finalised, actual vacancies will be determined and the positions advertised. It is noted that the area mental health services are divided into four separate areas, none of which shares a common database from which the requested information could be extracted quickly or easily. As such, the requested information requires significant resources in order to provide a response.
