Mental Health Commission

In reply to Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (26 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

1. The commissioner was interstate on the day of the estimates hearing.

2. I have regular conversations with the Mental Health Commissioner.

3. A consultation process commenced in April 2019 in relation to the interim government response to the mental health governance review. This consultation process sought comments and input through a number of mechanisms including both written submissions and consultation forums. The public consultation forum included presentations on the review by SA Health senior staff. The consultation outcomes were carefully considered by the government and informed the final response to the review.
