Constituency questions

Tim READ
Brunswick electorate
Tim READ (Brunswick) (14:43): (206) My constituency question is for the Minister for Mental Health. Recommendations that the mental health complaints commissioner makes to public mental health services are a matter of public interest, as they show where Victoria’s mental health system needs to improve. Currently, the Mental Health Complaints Commission is appealing a decision by the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner which advised that they release such service improvement recommendations to my constituent who requested them. Could the minister please avoid further legal costs and delay by simply releasing this information to the public?
