I thank all the witnesses for their contributions and for the work that they are doing. The work they are doing is difficult and challenging. I very much appreciate the contribution they are making.

The supports offered within the prison system when people - male and female - end up in prison have been raised. From the witnesses' own information and from dealing with people, what is their view on how we are dealing with drug addiction and on the issue of trauma within prisons? What is their view regarding the medical care within prisons? I am not sure who wants to contribute on that point.

It is an issue I have come across previously.
