POLICE — LOCKUPS — CORONER’S RECOMMENDATION
753. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Police:
I refer to the coroner’s recommendation that the Western Australia Police Force manual be amended to provide that a welfare screening of an intoxicated person for the purpose of admission to custody in a lockup is not complete unless the person has had a health assessment by a nurse; or, if a nurse is not available and present, a health assessment at the hospital.
(1) Does the government support this recommendation?
