Prisoner Support and Treatment

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:31): Could the minister also provide information as to how the cost of keeping these people in the corrections system compares on average to the cost of supporting them to have positive mental health in the community?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:31): Again, I am more than happy to take that question on notice and try to get some specific costings that are attached to having someone in custody, particularly if they are a forensic mental health patient.
