Aged-Care CCTV Trial

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:55): Is the audiovisual equipment being monitored on site by staff at Mount Pleasant or is it being done independently? Do those staff, if it is independently, have experience in aged and health care?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:55): As I previously advised the house, it is independently monitored off site and, as I previously indicated, these are not health professionals, as might be the case in the Care Protect model. Every model is different. This service was assessed as the best in a public tender process. It uses technology that wasn't being used by Care Protect, and we look forward very much to the outcomes from the pilot.

The PRESIDENT: Final supplementary, the Hon. Mr Pangallo.
