Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 96 asked in the Legislative Council on 12 May 2021 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

MENTAL HEALTH COMMISSION — SERVICE PROVIDER FUNDING

96. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Mental Health:

I refer to the government's press statement dated 14 December 2020 titled ''McGowan Government delivers funding boost for community services'' and, specifically, the $6 million allocated to the Mental Health Commission for disbursement across eligible contracts. Will the minister list the service providers who will have their contracts extended to 30 June 2022 by the Mental Health Commission and a breakdown of the funding allocated to each?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank Hon Donna Faragher for some notice of the question.

The Mental Health Commission will be notifying the eligible service providers of the 51 service agreements for the once-off funding boost within the next month.

I have a list here, Madam President, but I have noticed an error in it so I will check that error and I will provide something at the end of question time. I will provide it to the member behind the chair and I will provide it to the department tomorrow.

Hon DONNA FARAGHER: Just for clarification, if I may, the minister said ''behind the chair''. Does the minister intend to table that document?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON: I will table the document tomorrow. I will rectify the issue for tomorrow for the chamber, but in the meantime, if I can provide something to the member behind the chair, I will do that.
