Borderline Personality Disorder

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:17): My question is to the Minister for Health. Given that people with borderline personality disorder have limited access to specialist services in South Australia, will the government establish a dedicated borderline personality disorder support service in South Australia and, if not, why not?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:17): I thank the member for Morphett for the question. It is a good question. I have had a meeting with the Hon. Kelly Vincent who has been speaking to me about this particular issue. It is something that is being worked on by the Department for Health. I will be happy to bring in an up-to-date report on exactly where we are at with assistance for people with that particular disorder.
