Prisoner Support and Treatment

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:03): A further supplementary question, Mr President: what is the average length of stay in James Nash House, and is there an aim to limit the length of stay? Is there an ideal period of time that a person would stay? Also, when the minister says that forensic prisoners have their needs 'regularly reviewed', how regularly is 'regularly'?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:04): Again, that falls under the responsibility of the Minister for Mental Health, so I will have to take that on notice and seek a response from the responsible minister in the other place.
