I refer to my question without notice No. 284 regarding the partial exemption to the Western Australian smoke-free policy to provide the opportunity for mental health inpatients on locked or secure wards to smoke in outdoor designated smoking areas, and I ask —
(1) Has the Government now committed to the exemption?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) If no to (1), when does the Minister expect a final decision will be made?
(4) If yes to (1), has this policy now been communicated to all relevant staff and service providers?
