FORMER West Australian treasurer Troy Buswell is unlikely to return to parliament until at least April 10.

Mr Buswell stepped down from cabinet last week following revelations he was hospitalised for 10 days after a mental breakdown in the wake of a car crash in the early hours of February 23.

He had been at a wedding reception and had reportedly spent many hours drinking.

Police continue to probe the events that led to Mr Buswell's car crashing into the gates of his own house. They are also investigating damage to other cars and property in Subiaco.

Mr Buswell has not been sighted publicly since his enforced departure and the state government now needs to seek formal permission from the lower house for him to remain absent for more than nine consecutive sitting days, which will fall on Thursday.

The parliament was told on Monday that the government would apply for Mr Buswell to remain away from work until the second week of April.

It is the convention for the opposition not to oppose motions for MPs seeking a leave of absence for health reasons.

There has been no confirmation of Mr Buswell's future plans or whether he intends to remain an MP.
