          <by role="member" id="4991">Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:10):</by>  I think it was. Further supplementary: given that the government failed to achieve its goal of having no mental health patients wait more than 24 hours in an ED from 1 January this year, when will this goal be achieved?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:10):</by>  As I said, the government is continually monitoring this space. We have a good story to tell. The opposition fails to recognise the significant inroads we have made over recent months, and we continue to work with the department and stress on the department the importance of reaching our targets. We will endeavour to take this issue very seriously, as I know the Minister for Health has done over a number of months as well.</text>
