          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:32):</by>  Supplementary question arising from the minister's original answer: does the minister therefore concede that the price of the improved time targets within the EDs is a diminution in clinical practice in terms of outcomes for mental health patients, as asserted by the Principal Community Visitor?</text>
