I thank the member
for some notice of the question.
(1) The foetal alcohol spectrum disorder
assessment team is funded by t he
George Institute for Global Health, which receives funds from both the
commonwealth government and the private sector. The state government, through
the WA Country Health Service–Kimberley, provides ongoing care for
health issues identified during FASD assessment; for example, child and
adolescent mental health and/or development services.
(2) This information will not be known until
the program is complete and the final report presented. No firm publication
date has been given, although it is expected in August 2012
for some notice of the question.
