Mental Health PLAN

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:44): Supplementary: does the minister have any plans to develop a five-year mental health plan, given the previous plan has expired, and incorporate, of course, the zero mental health patients waiting more than 24 hours?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:44): As the member for Davenport highlighted in his speech today about the mental health act review bill, there is a mental health commission. The new commission and the acting commissioner are listening to the community to develop a plan in that space right now.
