Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:29): Does the minister stand by her statements that she triggered the independent review into the older persons mental health unit at Oakden as soon as she became aware there was a problem?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:30): When I was made aware of the significance of the care and concerns outlined from my conversations with the CEO of NALHN on 19 December, we triggered the independent review by the Office of the Chief Psychiatrist, which was tabled recently.
