Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

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

I refer to recommendations made by the Coroner as a result of the inquest into the death of Jayden Stafford Bennell regarding the engagement of Aboriginal mental health workers to form part of the mental health team in prisons, and I ask:

(a) how many Aboriginal mental health workers are currently employed at correctional facilities; and

(b) if none, why not?

Hon Stephen Dawson replied:

961. Hon ALISON XAMON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Mental Health:

I refer to the review of the statewide specialist Aboriginal mental health service.

(1)  When will the minister complete the review of SSAMHS?

(2)  Will the minister commit to making the review publicly available?

(3)  If no to (2), why not?
