With regard to extending services to seven days, Mr. Gloster said in his opening statement that engagement has commenced. People are left waiting over the weekend to access the likes of psychiatry, psychology and counselling services, which are critical supports. These are our most vulnerable people and they cannot afford to wait over the weekend in the hope of securing an appointment early the following week. Will Mr. Gloster provide some insight into what is being discussed or what a seven-day service might look like, particularly for mental health services?
