QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the number of suicides in rural and regional Western Australia that have been investigated by the Coroner, and I ask -
(1) Will the Attorney General provide a breakdown of people over the age of 25 who died by suicide in each of the regional health districts for the years 2008 to the present?
(2) Will the Attorney General provide the names of the towns and the years in which the suicides occurred?
(3) Will the Attorney General also give a breakdown, as asked above, for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal suicides?
