Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:01): Supplementary: can the minister confirm to the house that the community visitor's annual report 2015-16 was addressed specifically to her as the Minister for Mental Health?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:01): As I have said, I get a number of documents that come forward to my office every week, and I would have to review the covering letter that went with that. I do know that where I had matters raised by the community visitor with me in October we went to NALHN and asked for advice. We began investigating the issues raised around these cases, and particularly the Spriggs case, which was the matter that eventually led to me triggering the inquiry in December.
