What is needed is a robust overhaul of legislation via a new mental health Act, whether it is to implement the recommendations of A Vision for Change, which is now 13 years old, or the various reports completed in the intervening years. The State's response has left us with out-of-date legislation as evidenced by the discussion today. That response upholds stigma and provides inadequate healthcare. I commend Senator Devine on her work in this area and encourage the Minister of State and all Members to give the Bill their full support.
