Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:47): Supplementary: given the Spriggs family made a formal complaint in mid-2016 about significant overdosing and inappropriate restraints at Oakden, why did it take almost six months for the Chief Psychiatrist's review to be initiated?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:47): Once the community visitor wrote to me outlining his concerns about the complaint handling and the experiences of the Spriggs family, I wrote to NALHN asking them to give me a briefing on this matter and to investigate it further.
