          <by role="member" id="4991">Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:51):</by>  I have another question to the Minister for Mental Health. Following the minister's visit to Oakden on 10 February 2017, did the minister form the same view as the Chief Psychiatrist that the facility is more like a mental institution from the middle of last century?</text>

What I do know about this matter is that the report is an important document, and this government is acting on the report. We will be closing Oakden and we will be addressing the six recommendations that were taken to cabinet. We are in the process of forming a group to oversee that change in the model of care and how we conduct the future of this service for the betterment of people in our state moving forward.</text>
