VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (16:00):</by>  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.</text>
