Prisoner Support and Treatment
Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): My question again is to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Why does the minister ask that I obtain a signed authority from any mental health patient in the circumstances of being held in custody when they have been declared unfit to plead and have a legal incapacity to sign such an authority?
The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:38): I am advised that is appropriate procedure.
Members interjecting:
The SPEAKER: The leader is warned and so is the member for Kavel. Member for Fisher.
