Prisoner Support and Treatment

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Will the minister explain why a 35-year-old young woman, a mental health patient, is being held at the Women's Prison for breach of licence in respect of traffic offences when she has been declared unfit to plead and, by court order, is to be assessed for mental health?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:32): For the record, I don't discuss individual cases in this house because they involve the consent of the person involved. Secondly, all our clinical decisions that have been involved with this have been made.
