Recommendations

NSW Health

1. That NSW Health give consideration to investigating the feasibility of establishing Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) courses for mental health clients that are accessible outside of weekday business hours.

2. So far as NSW Health may be considering the utility of broadening the availability of access to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) across different Local Health Districts (LHD), that NSW Health examine the findings in this matter as part of the evidence base that would support such broader availability.
