Correctional Services, Forensic Patients

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:30): Supplementary: I thank the minister and I agree that that would be more useful for the council. Could he advise us what the average number of patients detained under that provision is over the last five years. I don't know whether it is possible to work out the average length of stay of those patients, but if it is possible that may also be of assistance to the council.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:30): I will endeavour to get as much information within this package as is reasonably practicable and get it back as quickly as possible.
