Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 14 Hansard (12 December) . . Page.. 4425 ..

MR STANHOPE (continuing):

In conclusion, for too long, concerns about mental health services have been met with piecemeal responses. My government's more comprehensive and considered approach, as evidenced by this report and the other measures I have outlined, is enabling the identification of changes that will have a real and positive impact on the experience of consumers and carers who access mental health services. This report provides the ACT community, mental health services and the government with clear directions on how this can be achieved.

Mr Speaker, I present the following paper:

Preliminary Government Response to Investigation into Risk of Harm to Clients of Mental Health Services, dated December 2002.

I seek leave to move a motion authorising this report for publication.
