Keeping up the pressure on Mental Health
I have a posted a few times before about mental health issues and the Senate Select Committee inquiry into mental health has been generating a huge amount of interest, with well over 500 submissions made public so far. Whilst of course there is never complete agreement, there is clearly widespread recognition of the nature of many of the problems.

Tonight’s 4 Corners on ABC TV is focussing on the issue. Hopefully it will help reinforce the public pressure for more action, although if this report is any indication, it looks like the buck passing, blame shifting and finger pointing between state and federal governments which has plagued this issue for so long is still getting in the way of adequate solutions.
