Mental Health Services

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:15): Supplementary: who was the alliance partner and what exactly was their response to the closure of 67 crisis beds, given the huge crossover between homelessness and mental health?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:15): The name of that particular provider is Sonder, which I understand is a national organisation. I have already responded to questions from another honourable member in terms of those particular beds that have been identified, in that the successful tenderer in the alliance is negotiating with existing providers going forward and we think those negotiations ought to be treated respectfully for them to negotiate the best outcome for vulnerable South Australians.
