346. Hon Alison Xamon to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Mental Health:
I refer to the research centre currently located at the Graylands Hospital campus, and I ask:
(a) does the Minister intend the research centre to continue to operate following the closure of Graylands Hospital;
(b) if yes to (a), where will the research centre be located;
(c) if no to (a), what will happen to the staff currently employed at the centre; and
(d) if a decision has not yet been made, when does the Minister intend to make a decision on these matters?
Hon Alanna Clohesy replied:
I am advised that:
(a) Yes.
(b) This has not yet been determined.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) This decision is likely be made in 2018/19 as it is contingent upon a review of the current model and identification of options for an appropriate location or locations for the future model.
