1224. Hon MARTIN PRITCHARD to the Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to the minister's answer to question without

(1) Will the minister now provide the data originally
requested in QWN 1016?
(2) Given the time delay, will the minister also provide data

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of the question.

I apologise to the honourable member for not providing the answer to QWN 1016
on Tuesday, 13 October 2015. It was not tabled in Parliament due to an administrative
error, which did not occur in my office. I seek leave to have the complete
answer, with the additional information as requested by the honourable member
today, incorporated into Hansard .
Leave granted.
