Mr Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Health. Mental illness affects one in five Australians every year, often in dreadful ways and especially in Tasmania. Clearly a better approach is desperately needed at both federal and state levels, yet the National Mental Health Commission's review of mental health programs and services has been shunted off to another committee. Minister, what is going on and when will the community see some big changes for the better?
