Community Visitor Scheme

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): Supplementary arising from the answer: given the minister expresses strong support for the role of the Community Visitor Scheme, is the minister now taking steps to ensure that there is a dedicated Principal Community Visitor?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:05): I think what the honourable member meant to ask was that it be a non-acting role; that is, actually the statutory responsibility of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing in his role as having the responsibility for the Mental Health Act.
