          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:40):</by>  Supplementary question: given that there was a significant amount of work done on this prior to the release of the government's plan just this month, which outlines the things that the minister has talked about and which were the subject of my question, why does the plan effectively roll out services with such a significant delay; that is, that the clinicians won't come on stream until 2020, and yet SA Health has known about this issue for some time?</text>

          <by role="member" id="5084">The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:41):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her supplementary. To the best of my knowledge, people working within mental health are doing everything they can to try to make sure that the action plan is rolled out as quickly as possible. I have not received any specific advice up until this point—I am sure I will in due course—around any particular delays in terms of the rollout of the action plan.</text>
        <text id="201709286410ce22628240d280000112">Needless to say, the government is committed to the action plan. We have invested resources into it. I share the honourable member's desire to make sure that we can roll out key clinical services sooner rather than later. As I said, I have not received, to the best of my recollection, any specific advice around why there are delays, but if the honourable member has specific concerns, I am more than happy to hear what those are and seek advice as to what the situation is.</text>
