Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Did the minister or any member of his staff have any discussion with the Minister for Mental Health or her staff in relation to the Oakden report between the time the Chief Psychiatrist completed his report and when it was made public?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:32): If you are trying to suggest somehow my office was privy to the contents of the report, the answer is, no, not until the report went through the usual cabinet processes, and that's entirely appropriate.
