Centre For Disability Health

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): I thank minister for his answer. Supplementary arising from the answer: in addition to actively looking to fill the position of an apparently unexpected retirement, will the minister accept the recommendations of an independent report and guarantee that the centre I asked about, the disability healthcare centre at Modbury, will not close or move?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:21): The fact of the matter is that it's common knowledge that the Centre for Disability Health is the centre that is under review. I recently met with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists and discussed both the centre and the role. The former psychiatrist in that role was highly regarded. We are undergoing a recruitment process to engage a locum to fill the psychiatric vacancy for this valued and important service. Given the specialised nature of the role, it's anticipated it could take six to eight weeks to fill that role. There has been a review of the Centre for Disability Health. My office has received a copy of the review report and is currently considering it.
