          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:22):</by>  I've already indicated that the recruitment process is underway to engage a locum to fill that psychiatric vacancy. It's a very important role. The centre primarily provides support for people with intellectual disability, but often they have comorbidities. People with intellectual disability and psychiatric disability certainly derived great value from the service of the previous psychiatrist. We are actively trying to minimise the disruption from the unexpected vacancy.</text>
