BENTLEY HOSPITAL — MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY PROGRAM
I ask a supplementary question. I simply asked whether it was true that the program was being cut. This Hospital in the Home mental health program is obviously a front-line service. Can I confirm what the minister just, I think, intimated—that he will restore the service — The SPEAKER : Order! I have given the member a supplementary question. The member needs to ask the question. Mr R.H. COOK : Will the minister restore this service if it is indeed the case that it has been axed? Dr G.G. JACOBS
