Community Mental Health Service Plan

1274 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (11 September 2019). Is the government now in an official dispute with the PSA over the SALHN Adult Community Mental Health Service Plan?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

SALHN has confirmed that the PSA notified them of a dispute in relation to the service plan on 15 July 2019.

I understand that SALHN continues to work with the PSA to resolve any outstanding issues whilst the implementation of the Plan continues. It should be noted that the PSA's Notification of Dispute was received some six weeks following the announcement of the proposed implementation of the service changes.
