CHILDREN BEREAVED BY SUICIDE — PILOT POSTVENTION PROGRAM

674. Hon ALISON XAMON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Mental Health:

I refer to the evaluation of the pilot postvention program for children who have been bereaved by suicide.

(1) Will the minister please table the evaluation of the program?

(2) If not, why not?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

The new WA suicide prevention action plan 2021–2025, its associated business case and the comprehensive evaluation report is intended to be submitted as part of the 2020–21 budgetary process.
