Will the Leader arrange for the Minister to come into the House to discuss the availability of adolescent psychiatric beds? I understand only 12 beds are available in St. John of God services, with 38 people on the waiting list, but the nature of the illness does not allow for a timeframe in which they might require hospitalisation. There are no psychiatric beds for adolescents in the south east and very few beds elsewhere throughout the country.
