Immediate action to build on mental health reform
The Marshall Liberal Government is taking immediate action to build on mental health reform in South Australia, following last week’s mental health workshop and national meeting of Mental Health Ministers.
Actions items include measures to address the prioritisation of urgent care for mental health patients, establishing a pathway for load levelling of mental health pressures across our LHNs and facilitating sustainable workforce management.
The Marshall Liberal Government will immediately:
Enable Priority Care Centres across Adelaide to take mental health patients
Operationalise (following consultation) a new Statewide Demand and Escalation Policy which integrates mental health and general health responses, supporting Local Health Networks (LHNs) to work together and alleviate capacity pressures
