Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (16:01): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Has the minister discussed with the Principal Community Visitor, Mr Maurice Corcoran, what he says are grave concerns about several pneumonia deaths, a choking incident and falls at Oaken?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (16:02): I have read various transcripts that the community visitor has made in the media over the last couple of weeks. If he has any concerns—we meet regularly—I'm sure he will bring them to my attention.
