Dr. Margo Wrigley:

The hospital has other problems with its acute mental health unit, so it looks like it is going to be a new-build for the working age adult, the older adult unit and the two specialist units, namely, the mother and baby unit and the national eating disorder unit for adults. It will be a new-build. The land is available on the St. Vincent's University Hospital campus. From our point of view, with the mother and baby unit, the absolute priority is that it must be part of, but distinct from, an acute mental health unit. These are the most unwell mothers in the country at any one time and they have to have mental health expertise. That is our priority. The support of the sub-committee for the development of a national mother and baby unit would be a huge support to us. I thank the Deputy for his interest.
