Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:11): Given that the review was underway by 20 December 2016, why was the public not immediately told that a review was underway?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:11): Once we decided to trigger the review, commence the review, a scoping for the correct terms of reference had to be done, and that was for the whole Oakden campus. We then commenced the review, as I have publicly outlined in ministerial statements to this house previously, in January.
