I refer to Mental Health services and accommodation in the Esperance region, and I ask -
(1) Why has the undertaking by former Minister, Dr Graham Jacobs MLA to reopen the town's short stay mental health acute unit been ignored by the current Minister?
(2) What is the Minister doing about accommodation services for the mentally ill?

(1) When I visited the Esperance Hospital on 14 February 2012, I was especially pleased to consult with clinicians both at the Community Mental Health Service, and Esperance Hospital. After these discussions and viewing the hospital facilities, I am satisfied that the current manner in which these services jointly manage mental health inpatient admissions is appropriate to consumer and service needs.
(2) Every option is being explored to source additional funds to develop accommodation services in Esperance.
