Prisoner Support and Treatment

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:07): A supplementary: on the issue of administering health care, can the minister outline the process, if there is one, for reviewing medications which prisoners are taking while in prison? I am interested in the process for the review of medications, so where a prisoner is on medications is there a process for reviewing it to see whether they are on the correct dose or if they should be on that particular medication at the time?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:07): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. Unfortunately, I will have to take that on notice but I will try to make sure we get an expedited response to the honourable member.
