I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) I table the attached information.
[See paper 4855.]
Hon NICK GOIRAN : I note that the honourable member asked
where each service is located. The document I have tabled does not indicate
that. The honourable member might look at the table, and if she finds that she
still needs that information, let me know and I will follow up the matter.
Hon Sally Talbot : Will you get that tomorrow?
Hon NICK GOIRAN : I will endeavour to do so once the member
has looked at the table.
(3) The Mental Health Commission provides
funding to four service providers that provide 24-hour, seven‑day-a-week
support to teenagers.
