My question relates to the report on mental health entitled “ Not For Service : Experiences of Injustice and Despair in Mental Health Care in Australia”. In response to my question without notice 782 yesterday, 19 October, the minister stated that the figure in The West Australian of 34 reported deaths classified as unexpected was incorrect.

(2) How many of those reported deaths from mental illness were of children? (3) How many were female? (4) How many were male? (5) Will the minister ascertain when those children were diagnosed with having a psychiatric disorder, and when therapeutic intervention was sought and given? Hon SUE ELLERY
