          <by role="member" id="4978">Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (15:01):</by>  My question is to the Attorney-General. Given that the Attorney-General has informed the house that, as part of her role, she is notified of deaths of vulnerable people or critical incidences within care or support situations, what did the Attorney-General do when notified of the death of Debra Ann Pearce?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1804">The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (15:01):</by>  I think that, firstly, what I have identified is that there are a number of agencies that account to me in relation to what is reported. In relation to the specific case that you have raised, I will need to get the detail as to whether in fact she was a client of one of those agencies. I think I have indicated to the house, if I haven't made it clear to the member, that I will seek advice because I think that she specifically sought that, in relation to a disability state service, she may have therefore been under the responsibility of agencies that account to either the Minister for Health or the Minister for Human Services.</text>
        <text id="202006174ed6342aa6c649aa80000672">As the member might appreciate, the Community Visitor Scheme, for example, is an agency that is accountable to the Minister for Health. Therefore I will make that inquiry, and I am happy to provide that information to both her and the house as soon as it is available.</text>
