Ms Susan Clyne:

While there are lots of good provisions in the Act, it is good to see it being reviewed. Perhaps the Act should be reviewed more regularly, rather than waiting for long periods when things change so much in medicine, in the delivery of care and in people's rights. We chose to home in on a number of issues today that we think will inadvertently have negative consequences for immediate, crisis care to patients. We commend the legislators and look forward them seeking the necessary funding to have mental health services in place around the country.
