Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are addressed to the Minister for Health and Social Services. I wanted to follow up on his Minister’s statement today.
I’m really pleased to hear that he will be later tabling the Mental Health Action Plan. It’s, I think, well known that our territory has many problems. We have people that suffer from mental health
illnesses. We have people that suffer from mental health illnesses as a result of addictions. The Minister mentions in his statement that this is a three-year action plan. I believe it’s intended for 2012 to 2015. I appreciate that we have to start somewhere, but I’d like to ask the Minister what are we going to do beyond this three-year time period. What has the department got in place for long-term plans for a mental health and addictions strategy? Thank you.
