Minister, can you confirm that there is currently only one mental health nurse on Nauru, who is not employed to provide services to refugees, and that the only psychiatrist employed by the Nauruan hospital does not speak English and does not have access to a translator to speak to refugee patients? Are you seriously maintaining your claim that this constitutes an adequate response to the mental health epidemic amongst refugees on Nauru that you've created? (Time expired)
