Mental Health Services

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:14): A supplementary: can the minister guarantee that no new patient will be worse off under the reductions in funding for mental health?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:14): I'm not sure what the honourable member is referring to. If she's referring to a client who is not eligible for NDIS services, then they wouldn't be getting NDIS services, ipso facto, and so how can they be better or worse off? In relation to the NDIS, people transferred to the NDIS, that is the responsibility of the commonwealth.
