Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:13): Supplementary to the Minister for Mental Health: if the action was so prompt, post-December 2016, why did the first letter to families only go to them on 1 February 2017 as per appendix 4 of the Chief Psychiatrist's report?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:13): Once the review was triggered, the matter was in the hands of the Chief Psychiatrist as an independent review. The way he conducts his inquiries in that space is appropriate for him.
