Ms Molly Joyce:

That is absolutely something the IPRT will continue supporting and collaborating on with others that have expertise in mental health.

I will quickly mention two things the committee might also examine. Looking at the CMH to see how it is operating in future is a great idea.

Regarding the high-level task force, the resourcing point again arises. It is great to see the timing of the recommendations, which include proposals for the short, medium and long term, but there was not really any information given on resourcing. The report was released around the same time as the announcement of budget 2023. That was a little concerning because if the resources are not put into these proposals, a lot of them will not happen. There is also the question of monitoring. I understand there are plans in place for cross-departmental monitoring. That is something we will try to keep on top of in terms of how the monitoring is being done and who is keep an eye on whether the actions are being implemented.
