It is important that both physical and mental health issues be addressed for children, adolescents and adults. We cannot have a one-size-fits-all approach. The unit cannot just rock up to one of the reception centres unless it is offering services to the entire community. There are sections of the community that are already being failed and we will be adding insult to injury if we pretend that we are providing medical services when we are not.
