昆士兰州政府已取消在耶龙加新建儿童和青年心理健康中心的计划, The Queensland government has canceled plans for a new child and youth mental health hub in Yeronga, nearly eight years after the project was first announced. 相反,它将租用两个现有地点(上Gravatt山和Taringa)的空间,提供20个病人房间,安装费用为440万美元,第一年租赁费为60万美元。 Instead, it will lease space at two existing sites—Upper Mount Gravatt and Taringa—to provide 20 patient rooms, costing $4.4 million for setup and $600,000 in first-year leasing fees. 工党议员马克·贝利批评此举是秘密的和违背的承诺，并警告家庭将面临更长的护理旅行时间。 Labor MP Mark Bailey criticized the move as secretive and a broken promise, warning families will face longer travel times for care. 该决定是在青年心理健康服务发生争议性变化的历史之后作出的,包括2014年关闭了巴雷特青少年中心(Barrett青少年中心),在此之前有几名青年死亡。 The decision follows a history of contentious changes to youth mental health services, including the 2014 closure of the Barrett Adolescent Centre, which preceded several youth deaths.
