Mental Health Services

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:28): A supplementary, despite the inadequacy of the answer: how long will the government continue to open the 20 beds in private hospitals that the government has leased?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: It's regarding mental health patients so of course it's relevant to the original answer.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28): None of the private hospital beds relate to mental health patients.

The PRESIDENT: Just sit down for a moment. Can I remind the government benches that if they wish to raise a point of order, please stand and address me and articulate your case. Commentary from the government benches is just as bad as commentary from the opposition benches.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: This is not a debate.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I am now awaiting the Hon. Ms Scriven's further supplementary.
