SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS
324. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Education:
I refer to the Department of
Education's school psychology service.

minister provide a breakdown by service of the number of psychologists employed
by the department in other service areas, outside of support provided directly
in schools?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The answer is not possible in the
time given; therefore, I request the member put this question on notice.
Hon Donna Faragher : Are you serious?
You cannot answer that?
Hon SUE ELLERY : If I may, by
way of explanation, particularly in respect of the second part of the question,
because you are asking for other service areas outside of what is directly
provided in schools, that will take some time to collate.
