JUSTICE DRUG PLAN 2003
I asked this question last week. However, I indicated that I would ask it again today because the answer was not available. I refer to page 23 of the “Justice Drug Plan - May 2003” which states, that an outcome evaluation designed to measure the effectiveness of drug-use programs and interventions will also be conducted by an external agency. (1) Has the plan been externally evaluated; and, if so, when was it conducted and by whom? (2) If yes to (1), will the minister table a copy of the evaluation? (3) If no to (1), when will the evaluation be conducted? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the member for some notice of this question. On behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services I provide the following response - (1) The evaluation referred to was conducted by TNS Social Research. The report was entitled “A Review of Addictive Offending Programs” and was conducted between August and December 2005. The report was subsequently considered by the corporate executive of the Department of Corrective Services in early 2006. The content, considerations and recommendations of the report were largely subsumed by the findings and recommendations of the Mahoney inquiry, particularly recommendations 24, 35 and 92, which relate to program development management, monitoring and review; and recommendations 127 to 133, which relate to management of drug abuse. (2) No. The TNS report was superseded by the findings and recommendations of the Mahoney inquiry. The Mahoney inquiry was a far more complex and exhaustive examination of the issues and its findings and recommendations became the focus of the department and the government. The TNS report has therefore not been endorsed and has been set aside. (3) Not applicable.
