The Minister said that he does not know and cannot give any clarity as to when the review of the Mental Health Act 2001 will be finalised. It is creating that gap in services where people who are detained under the Mental Health Act will not get the same services and the same rights as other people with disability in regard to this Bill. The Minister made an argument earlier and we voted on the amendment and lost, but I will also be bringing this forward at the next Stage in regard to mental health.
