I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) A court may in certain circumstances order an
offender to comply with a medication regime. The specific medication that an
offender may be required to take is a matter for Corrective Services officers
in consultation with medical practitioners.
(2) This question falls outside the Attorney
General's portfolio.
