The government is committed to mental health as a core element of health planning and service delivery in South Australia into the future. Community and inpatient mental health services are integrated into the planning and operations of each local health network and the strategy, policy and legislative work of the Mental Health Unit is integrated into the statewide functions of the Department for Health and Ageing. 2.	The government is committed to providing treatment, care and rehabilitation to all people with mental illness, including those with borderline personality disorder. The statewide Mental Health Clinical Network is currently collating feedback regarding their Report on Borderline Personality Disorder, which ended a period of public consultation on 4 July 2014. Subsequent to that work, SA Health will draft a response to the report. The government will then weigh best-practice, population needs and resource availability, against health and other portfolio responsibilities, before committing to specific strategies.
