Labor’s Patient Navigation Program will improve mental health care
Program will enable better support and outcomes
A Majority Labor Government will fund an enhanced Patient Navigation Program to improve the integration of mental health care and ensure no Tasmanian is left behind in the state’s mental health system.
Labor Leader Rebecca White said the fragmented Tasmanian system under the Liberals leads to poor clinical outcomes and ongoing frustration in the community.
“The mental health system under the Liberals is a maze with insurmountable barriers for many patients, carers and their families,” Ms White said.
“Patients with complex care needs require more and varied healthcare services, along with a high degree of coordinated care, and evidence has shown that these patients and their families have better outcomes if they have access to integrated care.
