Next QLD government urged to spends millions more a year on mental health services

Five Queensland siblings have been left devastated by their sister's suicide, just days after she was released from a public mental health unit. The decision to discharge the woman came three months after she was severely injured in an earlier suicide attempt, on the grounds of a hospital north of Brisbane. Psychiatrists say Queensland’s mental health system is broken, and whoever wins the upcoming election needs to spend an extra $300 million a year - to urgently bolster services.
