          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Does the Chief Psychiatrist consider that Northgate is an appropriate long-term facility for the ongoing care of the patients in tier 7?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:39):</by>  The Chief Psychiatrist is responsible for the quality and safety across our mental health system in our state. He has been aware of the Northgate aged-care decision and has not objected and, with the implementation team led by Dr Duncan McKellar, we are moving in that space. We have updated the house a number of times about our plans on this, and how we have moved to expedite that move recently. We are close to completing the renovations on that site. I look forward to working with the families as they embark on this new chapter in their family member's life at the Northgate Aged Care facility.</text>
