MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:34):</by>  The government is currently in the process of an exercise that I am, naturally, intimately involved with in ensuring that the government's stated policy position that we will be retaining key services, announced by the Premier back in June, is delivered. That's a substantial undertaking. We are working with clinicians in delivering that.</text>
