I refer to funding allocated in the 2012-13 Budget for 'mental illness in the criminal justice system' which will only be available in the Perth metropolitan area, and ask when will funding be made available to extend this service to the South West region?

During the trial period this program will operate only out of the Perth Metropolitan Magistrates Court and the Perth Children's Court. If the trial is successful then continuation and extension to the South West and regional Western Australiawill be considered.
