Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Centre for Excellence

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:19): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Can the minister confirm that the model of care working group for the new PTSD unit at Glenside has estimated that the unit's operating cost will be 150 per cent higher than the current costs of providing those same services at the Repat?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:19): I had the pleasure of popping down to Margaret Tobin Centre for their 10th anniversary at Flinders health centre yesterday, and the chair of the model of care group did not raise that point with me, but I am happy to ask for advice from my department.

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader is living on the edge. Member for Davenport.
