I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
I have been advised by the
Department for Child Protection and Family Support that a system error has been
discovered with the HUGS online system and it is currently being fixed. Once
this is resolved, the HUGS data for some months in 2015 will need to be
validated to confirm its reliability. It is anticipated that a response to this
question will be provided by Tuesday, 13 October 2015. However, I am aware
that, on a quarterly basis, all the information that the member asked about
HUGS is available on the website. I do not know whether it goes as late as
August 2015, but the previous quartersXXX ###XXX
information would be available there. Nevertheless, I will provide the member
with the updated information on Tuesday, 13 October.
