It costs half a million dollars a year to keep a child in prison. 94% of them will go back to prison before they turn 18 Divert that to prevention & let’s see what happens. You would only need a 6% success rate and $500k per child to achieve it.

Jacki Small Professor Frank Oberklaid Brad Jongeling Prof Nitin Kapur The Royal Australasian College of Physicians Prof Sharon Goldfeld Prof Jane Munro We need to be careful here. Many GP s have said that because of the pressure on their time they are offloading paediatric patients that they formerly would have managed. We need to support general practice trainees get at least 6 m paeds training incl ED and OPD as used to be !!!
