667 - FUNDING CUTS TO CORRECTIVE SERVICES AND THE VICTIMS COMPENSATION SCHEME

Hornery, Sonia to the Attorney General, and Minister for Justice

Will the Minister be cutting funding to Corrective Services and the Victims Compensation Scheme in the Hunter?
Answer -

I am advised:

An independent review of the Victims Compensation Scheme will be carried out to determine how it can improve its effectiveness and make it easier for victims to access the financial assistance they need. The Victims Compensation Scheme is a statewide scheme that is not funded on the basis of regions or electorates.

Corrective Services NSW plans to conduct a statewide assessment and review of the most appropriate allocation of custodial resources and facilities. This process will not be identifiable to any particular region, at this stage.
