Mental health—acute care capacity
(Question No 1271)
Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Mental Health, upon notice, on 13 April 2018:
Further to the answer, dated 19 March 2018, given to the question without notice taken on notice on 20 February 2018 about mental health bed numbers as reported at Table 13A.13 in the Productivity Commission’s 2018 Report on Government Services, why has the number of beds per 100 000 people provided in acute hospitals with psychiatric units or wards in the ACT not kept pace with population growth since 2006-07.
Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Productivity Commission’s 2018 Report on Government Services provides reporting up to 2015-16, and does not include inpatient facilities made available post this timeframe. There are two additional mental health inpatient units available, totalling 16 beds. These units include Dhulwa Mental Health Unit which has ten beds and the Mental Health Short Stay Unit which has six beds. These additional beds will be reported in the subsequent Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services.
