Borderline Personality Disorder

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:40): Supplementary: will the specialised borderline personality disorder service include a stand-alone bricks and mortar unit, as the BPD community and mental health professionals have been calling for for some time and as exists interstate?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:40): I will have to seek advice on that particular question. I haven't received any information as such, and I certainly haven't seen anything to suggest that that is something that has already been funded or committed to, but that is not to say that it isn't the case, and I am more than happy to take that question on notice for the honourable member.
