On behalf of the Minister for Corrective Services, I thank
the honourable member for notice of this question.
(1) The volume
of each individual dose of methadone varies from one patient to another.
Obtaining this information, and the number of individual doses of methadone,
would require a manual search by a pharmacist and other staff to examine
individual patient files across the state. This would divert an unreasonable
amount of resources.
(2) Doses were
available for 248 patients. This does not include doses distributed at the
privately-run prisons.
