SELECT COMMITTEE INTO ELDER ABUSE — REPORT — GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1855. Hon Alison Xamon to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General; Minister for Commerce:

I refer to recommendation 14 in the Government Response to I never thought it would happen to me: when trust is broken, Final report of the Select Committee into Elder Abuse, and I ask:

(a)  has the State Administrative Tribunal now determined whether there is a business case to survey older clients in line with this recommendation;

(b)  if yes to (a), what was determined; and

(c)  if no to (a), why not?

Hon Sue Ellery replied:

(a) At the moment the State Administrative Tribunal considers that there is no evidence from its feedback system to support a survey of older clients of the State Administrative Tribunal. Should the feedback system, which is constantly monitored, subsequently reflect a need for a survey of older clients the State Administrative Tribunal will undertake a survey with the support of the Department of Justice.

(b)–(c) Not applicable.
