The State Claims Agency seems to be taking a whole-of-prison approach. It is welcome that it has indicated what are the lessons. However, it was quite a sizeable outbreak. It is a very serious illness and a very expensive lesson. Large sums have been paid out in settlements. Obviously, people suffered significant damage. We should put this matter back to the appearance of representatives of the State Claims Agency before the committee.
