AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. I note that I have had a conversation with Hon Robyn McSweeney about this matter behind the Chair. Today, I was advised by the Department for Child Protection that the response given yesterday to a related question - question on notice 5454 - was incorrect. Part (9) did not give current staff levels; rather, it provided those as at 30 June. I will provide the corrected answer to question on notice 5454 as soon as possible, and I will be able to answer this question subsequent to that.
