Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:17): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Did the minister attend a 2015 meeting at which the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists raised concerns with the then minister for mental health and substance abuse about medical staffing and patient care at the Oakden older persons' mental health facility?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:17): I meet with the psychiatrists and many other professional associations quite regularly. I do recollect a meeting that was interrupted by several divisions that day, and I will be meeting with the psychiatrists' association again shortly.
