          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING:</by>  Ministers don't sit down overriding clinical decisions and clinical advice and deciding what provides the best health outcomes for patients: we rely on the advice of our clinical experts. On this particular issue, the advice is emphatic that having the Helen Mayo clinic incorporated within the women's hospital will provide better outcomes for patients. I am yet to hear anyone suggest otherwise. If the opposition are aware of anyone suggesting otherwise or have some evidence that this will be anything other than of positive benefit for women suffering post-natal depression, I would very much like to see it.</text>
