13656 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Mental Health: On how many occasions, if any, since 27 November 2023, has the Minister intervened in, overruled, or influenced a decision made by any agency under their responsibility, and what were the circumstances of each instance?

Hon Matt Doocey: As Minister for Mental Health, I am not responsible for any agencies; however, I regularly engage with health officials in relation to policy, legislative and other decisions in order to give effect to this Government's priorities. I take advice, make decisions and give direction to officials as Associate Minister of Health in accordance with the cabinet manual. However, these actions are not collected or registered in a way that could be included in a single answer.
