The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I won't take that as a supplementary. That will be just a question. The Hon. C.J. PICTON House of Assembly Kaurna Minister for Health and Wellbeing The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:02): The first time I was aware of the significant issues with the Mental Health Triage Service was when I was the shadow minister for health, because those issues have been pronounced for many years. In fact, my understanding was that they were worse under the previous government and so there has been work undertaken to try to improve those rates. We think that there is more work that needs to happen in the future though as well and that is why that work is happening between the health networks to improve the service even further.
