Older Persons Mental Health Service

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:32): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Is the government committed to having one or more purpose-built tier 7 BPSD facilities within the public health system, as recommended by the Chief Psychiatrist?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:33): One of the most important things that's been missed in the conversation today is about the importance of establishing an appropriate model of care that will determine the right facility mix, or singular. We are not sure until we have that information provided to us by the transition committee.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned for the second and final time. There will be no further warnings to the member for Unley. The member for Davenport.
