Mental Health Services

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:56): Is the minister aware of any unofficial discussions that took place regarding Mr Mendoza's conversations, as I outlined in my first question, and is he aware of the communications made directly to Chris McGowan regarding the litany of problems with our mental health jurisdiction?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:56): I certainly know that there has been a strong partnership between the Department for Health and Wellbeing, CALHN, the Office of the Chief Psychiatrist and, for that matter, mental health services right across Adelaide. I am aware of discussions because I would be very surprised if, particularly in a period of significant mental health demand, there wasn't collaboration across all of those partners.

The PRESIDENT: A further supplementary, the Hon. Ms Bonaros.
