I refer to my question on notice No. 5516 regarding Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and the Western Australia Register of Developmental Anomalies, and I ask —
(1) Does the register record data on the incidence of any FASD other than Foetal Alcohol Syndrome?
(2) If yes to (1), which other FASD diagnoses are included?
(3) If no to (1), does the Minister intend to expand the register to include any additional diagnoses arising from prenatal alcohol exposure?
(4) If yes to (3), when is this likely to occur?
(5) If no to (3), why not?
(6) If no to (3), does the Minister intend to put any other strategies in place to more accurately ascertain how many Western Australian children have FASD?
