MAHER (Deputy Premier, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (12:46):</by>  I am just going to put a very brief comment on the record. I know the government's view has been put on the record already, but I can confirm that it is the government's view that the High Risk Offenders Scheme, which is a criminal justice response, is not the appropriate mechanism in relation to oversight of patients who were the subject of the coronial report into the death of Mrs Foster. What I am informed of is that how the Mental Health Act works and oversights people is being reviewed rather than the criminal justice system.</text>
