The Queensland state government’s promise to begin construction on a youth mental health facility by the end of 2017 remains unfulfilled.
Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles says the construction of new car park facilities at The Prince Charles Hospital which commenced last November have delayed construction on the new mental health centre.
According to Queensland Health, the new mental health facility for adolescents will cost between $12 million and $15 million dollars, and is expected to be ready by 2020.
