The ACT Government is continuing to invest in and work with ACT Policing to deal with this increased demand.

Health—eating disorder support services

Ms Davidson (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Castley on Wednesday, 19 October 2022):

Every effort is made to maintain people under 16 years in the paediatric ward, however at times, an individual person’s illness requires admission to the AMHU. Young people are admitted and cared for either in the vulnerable persons suite or with a 1:1 special. Clinical care is provided in close consultation with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services to ensure appropriate developmental and therapeutic approaches are taken to support the young person and their family.

Canberra Health Services cannot answer due to the numbers being very low and the children may be identifiable.

ACT Heritage Council—independent review

Ms Vassarotti (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Lawder and Mr Milligan on Thursday, 20 October 2022):

I have recently received a copy of the review report for the ACT Heritage Council and ACT Heritage.

I am currently considering the report including response options. I propose to make the key findings of the review public.

There are no changes currently taking place to the ACT Heritage Council as the Council’s activities are currently suspended.

Drugs—pill testing

Ms Stephen-Smith (in reply to a question by Mr Davis on Thursday, 20 October 2022):

A team led by the Australian National University (ANU) has been funded by the ACT Government to conduct an independent evaluation of the fixed-site drug checking pilot. The evaluation will collect quantitative and qualitative data including operational data from the service, questionnaires collected from clients at the service, follow-up questionnaires and interviews with clients who wish to participate, interviews with key stakeholders, observational data from the service, and where available routinely collected administrative data from agencies such as emergency services.
