  Her comments were echoed by Dr Aaron Groves, Mental Health Clinical Leader for the project and also Director of the Office of Mental Health at the Department of Health in Western Australia and Deputy Chair of the National Mental Health Working Group.
  
  He said; "The problems for emergency departments providing care to people with mental health problems has grown substantially across Australia in the past decade.
  
  "Unfortunately many people have to wait several hours to be seen, in a setting which is primarily designed to rapidly treat people with serious, often life threatening, physical illness.This means it can be difficult to have them assessed by a trained mental health professional in a reasonable period of time.
  
  "Now, for the first time, emergency care and mental health staff are working closely together to review ways to streamline processes and, in some cases, develop new ways of providing care so that the amount of time people need to unnecessarily spend in an emergency department is kept to a minimum.Already some participating hospitals are reporting that people with mental health problems are being assessed more quickly and that the time they spend in the emergency department has been reduced," Dr Groves said.
