SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:32):</by>  I will get back to the member for Morphett with a full report of that. We are in the process of constructing 10 new beds at James Nash, and those beds, as I said in my ministerial statement, will be open, I think, next year. I realise it is an issue that we have been grappling with about patients at James Nash who, rather than having a mental illness, have an intellectual disability. It has been an issue of the appropriateness of having those patients at James Nash and we are moving to deal with that, but I will get a full report back to the member for Morphett.</text>
