1071. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:

I refer to the provision of supported bail accommodation for young people, and I ask:

(a)  how many children and young people on remand are currently held in Banksia Hill Detention Centre because there is no suitable bail accommodation available for them;

(b)  how many supported bail accommodation places for children and young people are currently funded by the Department of Corrective Services;

1059. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:

I refer to the Inspector of Custodial Services report Transitional Services in Western Australian Prisons and to concerns that ‘many prisoners with chronic mental health conditions left prison with little to no formal support’, and I ask:

(a)  has the department undertaken or planned any work to address this gap; and

(b)  if yes to (a), please provide information about this work?
