          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:30):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Of the 21 staff referred to AHPRA for further investigation, can you explain how many of the staff that you say are facing serious allegations have been suspended? How many of those have been suspended?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:30):</by>  Human resources management issues fall within the purview of the CE of SA Health, but on any day at the moment they are pursuing those HR matters very vigorously. I have made it very, very clear that no staff member who has been on the Oakden site where there are significant concerns of abuse is to be let back on the site or is to be working in any of our environments in SA Health where they could be placing vulnerable people in a particularly jeopardous situation.</text>
