Prisoner Support and Treatment

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Supplementary, again to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse: how many mental health patients are being held in prisons in South Australia as we speak?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:33): I am happy to seek advice from my department on that, but I would like to point out—as I did late last week in correspondence with the member for Bragg—that all consents must be made from the person involved before we discuss these things.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel will not further obstruct the business of the house. The member for Elder.
