Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 5 Hansard (11 May) . . Page.. 1498 ..
The ACT Mental Health Coordinating Group was established in August 1999, following the Government's announcement of its commitment to the development of a more integrated and coordinated mental health system for the ACT.
The Coordinating Group includes representatives from major mental health service providers both government and non-government, the Department of Health and Community Care and consumers and carers. The ACT Government has embraced the national priorities established for mental health and has developed a detailed blueprint for local implementation. A key achievement of 1998/99 was the adoption and implementation of the ACT Mental Health Strategic Plan.
I commend the Mental Health Services Provision in the ACT 1998-99 Report to Members as it provides an important method of keeping abreast of the significant developments in mental health in the ACT.
Mr Berry: Are you going to move that it be noted?
MR MOORE: I did not think you would want it. I move:
