Answer (1)-(2) The detailed information requested in parts (1)-(2) is not readily available. Provision of this information would require considerable research which would divert staff away from their normal duties and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide a response. If the member has a specific inquiry I will endeavour to provide a reply.
