Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey appeared blindsided by news that the Suicide Prevention Office was closing. Doocey insisted the office would remain open despite Deputy-Director General of Health announcing the office would merge into a wider directorate.
Labour health spokesperson Ayesa Verall weighed in that the closure was at the behest of the Government.
