00:00We celebrated the topping out or reaching the peak of the three-storey build for the

00:14new Tamworth Mental Health Unit which means that it's all clad and now it's ready for

00:17the exciting stage of fit-out. With that also brought the installation of the Link Bridge

00:22which joins the new mental health unit with the Tamworth Hospital.

00:30So we're still on track for completion this year and into the building early next year.

00:37And we're confident that the bed base here will support those that require a hospital admission.

00:43From personal experience we've had a young person in our family go through it.

00:48We've had other members and all our carers are caring for someone with mental health problems.

00:54It's going to be a much more friendlier place, a cleaner place.

01:00Every person there will have their own bathroom.

01:04They should feel a lot safer, secure and hopefully their mental health problems will be more easily solved.

01:13Not solved, but you know, it helps along a lot of the company.
