Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): Has the minister sought expert advice from the Mental Health Commissioner in relation to recommendations on the structure of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in the Coroner's March 2014 report into the death of Michaela Mundy, as promised by the former minister?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:41): If it is a Coroner's matter, I would expect my department to take all Coroner's matters recommendations and deal with them seriously, comply with those reports and give me recommendations to that effect. I think you are confusing the role of the Mental Health Commissioner, which I outlined in my previous answer.
