PRISONS — STAFFING LEVELS
860. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Corrective Services:
I refer to the numbers for custodial
full-time equivalents for all Western Australian prisons provided at the budget
estimates hearing on Monday, 26 June 2023 and to the numbers provided in
response to question without notice 847 asked on Tuesday, 15 August. Why do the
numbers between those provided at the budget estimate hearing and question
without notice 847 not correlate considering they were a response to the same
question?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Corrective Services.
The
Department of Justice advises that the total numbers provided in the response
to question without notice 847 do correlate with the total numbers based on the
following paper provided for the response on Tuesday, 15 August 2023 . It
should be noted that staffing level agreements refer to the total prison
officer numbers, which includes custodial and vocational support officers.
