Mental Health Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:57): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding mental health. Minister, when were you first made aware of the referral from ICAC to the Chief Psychiatrist of three mental health sites, as has been publicly revealed today? Have you, as minister, seen the ICAC referral, and have you, as minister, been made aware of any request for additional funding for the now four mental health sites that intervention has occurred in?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:58): I am briefed from time to time by the Chief Psychiatrist, and he has certainly briefed me in relation to his ongoing work in relation to southern mental health services. I will certainly consult my diary and identify the answer to the honourable member's question.
