I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Given the Bennett Brook Disability Justice Centre's
classification as a declared place, supports on-site are typically provided by centre staff. Should a resident
be approved for leave of absence by the Mentally Impaired Accused Review
Board, community sector disability services may be engaged. The centre supports
individuals to access a variety of community-based services, such as a general
practitioner, mental health supports, drug rehabilitation, education
activities, and recreation opportunities in preparation for a successful
transition back into the community.
