Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (16:00): My question is again to the Minister for Mental Health. Before responding to the letter from the member for Makin, what did the minister do to satisfy herself that the concerns were being adequately addressed?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (16:00): To start with, the letter was written to the then minister at the time and, as parliamentary secretary, in due course, a briefing was provided to me that I then read and assessed: did it address the concerns in the letter? Yes, they were substantive about Clements ward and staffing matters. I was assured by the briefing. I undertook and signed the letter back to the unknown constituent at that point of time.
