I refer to hospitals and licensed psychiatric hostels that carry out electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and I ask -
(1) How many people have had ECT in the years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011?
(2) What are the processes by which information regarding procedures of ECT are recorded by each of the nine ECT licensed facilities in Western Australia and provided to the Department of Health?
(3) Has a report been compiled on how these processes can be improved?
(4) If yes to (3), can it be tabled in Parliament?
(5) If no to (4), why not?
