Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:17): During that meeting in 2015 that you attended, what was the nature of those concerns and what action did you take as then parliamentary secretary to address them?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:18): Could I just seek clarity about that? Are you talking about 2016 or 2015?

Mr Duluk: 2015, minister.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: The then minister, the current Minister for Health, had a number of meetings when I was parliamentary secretary with the psychiatrists' association, not all of which I was present in. They raised a number of issues, broad ranging, and I visited a number of psychiatric facilities and mental health wards across the state and undertook to visit as many as I could.
