QuestionView source ↗
I refer to recommendation 12 of the Commissioner for Children and Young People’s Report on the
Inquiry into the Mental Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People
from April this year, which calls for better data collection, monitoring and reporting on the mental health of children and young people to better provide services in this area. I refer also to the Barnett Government’s termination of the Telethon Institute for Child Research’s Child Development Survey that was planned for 2008, and I ask -
(1) Will the Government provide funding for the Telethon Institute for Child Research to conduct the Child Development Survey in 2012?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
