I know the witnesses cannot answer this question but the Mental Health Commission will need more resources and funding in order to carry out those inspections. It is a big undertaking to do that so that is something we will have to work on. I refer to the provision for 16 and 17-year-olds to refuse or consent to their own mental health treatment. What is the difference between what is provided for in the heads of Bill and what was in place previously?
