Borderline Personality Disorder

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:56): My question is also to the Minister for Mental Health. When will the Action Plan for People Living with Borderline Personality Disorder 2017-2020 be made available publicly, given that it is February and the Mental Health Commission website still states that it will be released in late 2016?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:57): We know that people living with borderline personality disorder face many challenges as they intersect with health care, and housing, and general lives. It's an important area that I am very committed to working on. I won't be rushed in making a policy decision about this without consulting consumers and clinicians appropriately. The plan will be released in the near future.
