I can reiterate for the chamber that this government is absolutely committed to the delivery of mental health services right across the nation. Those of us on this side of the chamber know that it is this government that will do that. The Partners in Recovery program will be assessed in the context of both the national mental health commission and the review of mental health programs, as well as the review of Medicare Locals. We make no apology for delivering good policy outcomes for this nation. We are going to do that in a sensible, methodical and measured way. We are going to make sure—unlike the previous government—that when it comes to health we make informed decisions and that goes to the delivery of mental health services across the nation. (Time expired)
