Mental Health Services

Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (14:45): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Has the minister undertaken any modelling to look at the impact that the closure of 10 mental health beds will have on the Mount Gambier Hospital and the treatment that that hospital will now have to provide to mental health patients?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:45): SA Health and my team continue to look at the best balance of beds and provision of mental health services across the state.
