Dr. Michael Drumm:

It is, absolutely. We advocated for that in our submission, particularly that there should be parity of esteem across the multidisciplinary team. Team lead should be based on one's skills and competence, not on privilege of one profession over another. It gives a sense that all are in the boat together. That is international best practice, and it was part of our opening statement. It is transformative of mental health services. Others will have different opinions on that but, from my perspective, if somebody is the most competent person to lead the team, there is nothing to fear from that and it should not be judged.
