Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In March this year Professor Ian Hickie wrote:

As a result of the mess left at the end of the Rudd era, key structural issues in mental health services remain unresolved. There is no commonly agreed service model, particularly for out of hospital and ongoing community care.

So, again, I ask: Minister, how does the government respond to this scathing criticism by such a respected stakeholder from the mental health sector?
