(a) (i) - (iii) The Department of Corrective Services advises that information on the number of prisoners who were being treated for a diagnosed mental illness at the time of reception is not recorded in a manner that is easily retrievable.
The Department of Corrective Services is reviewing and improving its systems to support the design and implementation of Individualised Integrated Offender Management (IIOM). IIOM will capture a broader range of information about prisoners, including whether they are being treated for a diagnosed mental illness at the time of reception.
