Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): In the minister's discussions with members of her office or SA Health before reading the report over the Easter weekend, was the prospect of closing the Oakden facility discussed?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:14): I made it very clear that all options were to be considered to ensure that the residents at Oakden were given the due respect, care and consideration they deserved, and the department was to make all serious endeavours to ensure that the site was improved, that we met accreditation standards and that the people were cared for.
