Mental Health Services

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (3 August 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse): I am advised:

The commonwealth government was wholly responsible for their decision to cease funding for a range of important mental health projects in South Australia on 30 June 2016.

As a result of this decision, $20.1 million of annual funding was cut. All of these programs were funded by the commonwealth government.
