ROAD TRAUMA SUPPORT SERVICES
21. Hon SUE ELLERY to the minister representing the
Minister for Road Safety:
Mr President, I draw to your attention that I have been
advised that there are not yet any answers to three of the questions I lodged
today, so they may come in during the course of the day.
(1) What research has been commissioned on identifying road
trauma support services?
(2) Has this research been provided
to the minister or his office?
(3) Will the minister table the research; and, if not, why
not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable
member for the question; I have a response.
(1) In 2010–11, the Department of
Health received a $35 000 grant from the road trauma trust account for a
project to investigate service provision, options and accompanying business
cases for the provision of professional support services for persons involved
in, or affected by, road trauma.
(2) The project report commissioned by the
Department of Health was presented to the Road Safety Council in October 2011
and was considered in the formulation of RTTA budget recommendations presented
to the Minister for Road Safety and the Ministerial Council on Road Safety for
the 2012–13 budget.
(3) Not at this time, as the consideration
of road trauma support services is part of government deliberations for the
2012–13 budget.
