MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:56): My question is again to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Is the shortage of acute mental health beds causing some mental health patients to be shackled in emergency departments rather than being admitted for appropriate acute care?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Point of order, Mr Speaker, and I noticed you were distracted. I believe the question engages in argument—before it asks the question—'is the shortage of acute beds'. It posits an argument that there is a shortage without a factual base.

The SPEAKER: Could the member for Morphett rephrase the question? In the meantime, I will call the member for Frome.
