Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:35): Another supplementary: when the minister was at the Makk and McLeay wards, did she have clinicians with her? Did they raise any concerns to her, as the minister, about the standard of care in those wards?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:35): The day I attended I walked through all three sites and we talked about steps that had been undertaken to improve the quality and safety frameworks for people in this facility. I observed people going about their average day in these wards. They talked about a number of procedures they were putting in place to improve caring concerns and about their practices, about a variety of things, from allowing people to go out into the sunshine, having garden space, psychosocial, adequate OT support. I asked about dietary issues, we talked about families and consumers coming on site. We talked about a number of issues that day.
