House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Correctional Facilities Correctional Facilities The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Correctional Facilities The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (13:53): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Has the Corrections department identified the savings each prison will have to make to reach the $28 million of savings required of it over the next four years? The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Police Minister for Recreation Correctional Facilities The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (13:53): I thank the member for that question. No, that's being worked through. We have put our better prisons program out there. It outlines a number of key elements, which include the outsourcing of the management of the Adelaide Remand Centre. Plus, we're investing $200 million of course into our public prison system to grow the number of beds—310 extra beds coming online. Also, there are changes to the workforce, with the ability to have more people work on a casualised basis within the prison system, which we hope will get more people into work in that system as well. They are the elements that we're looking at and, as those elements are worked through—benchmarking is another one—we think that by working with the people within the industry and the correctional officers themselves, to have an input in those processes, we will be able to identify those savings measures.
