Post-Natal Depression Services

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): Thank you, member for Croydon. My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. What advice has the minister received in relation to the clinical issues in moving the women patients from the Helen Mayo House at Glenside from a low-intensity site to be integrated into the new, busy, quaternary hospital?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:39): Clinical advice is very, very positive that this will be a significant improvement on the ability to care for patients suffering post-natal depression, and the clinical advice is quite emphatic that having that unit incorporated within the women's hospital will be a very positive outcome for those women.
