          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:59):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Given the special general meeting held at Minda on Sunday 24 February, which endorsed the current board of management, will the minister also provide her unconditional support to the Minda board?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:00):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. As we know, Minda has been undergoing particular governance challenges as well as some of its care challenges and is currently undergoing a significant amount of review. I think it's fair to say there are a lot of eyes on that organisation at the moment, through the matters raised to do with the Pat Kaufmann Centre and a number of other agencies that have oversight for the other services that Minda provides. I have met with the board chair, Ms Susan Neuhaus CSC, and the acting CE of Minda. I give my full support for the reforms that Ms Neuhaus is undertaking.</text>
