Disability Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): Supplementary arising from the original answer: when you received a report of a death of a person from an incident in state-run disability care, what follow-up did you instigate and how have you satisfied yourself that this does not need further investigation?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:43): Within the reports, there is a series of parts of the report that indicate what the situation was, what needed to be followed up, and matters which I have referred to previously, such as whether the police need to be engaged in this process as well. There is a whole series of matters that are considered in the pro forma process. I read those specifically to satisfy myself that the department has indeed followed up all of those matters, and if there is any further information that I need to provide I will provide that.
