My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Nash. Can the minister confirm that the Turnbull government is cutting funding to headspace's vital early psychosis programs by 70 per cent? Can she confirm that as a result of these cuts these centres will have to close? And is former Australian of the Year Professor McGorry right to say that if the centres close then almost certainly lives will be lost. Futures will be lost, because recoveries produced as a result of these programs lower suicide rates and save money for the health system?
