Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): How many current SA Health staff have received misconduct investigation letters relevant to the Oakden review?

Mr Duluk: You should know this one.

The SPEAKER: The member for Davenport is warned, having been called to order before lunch.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:12): I reiterate again the statement I just made: where staff are suspected of behaving inappropriately, these issues are being thoroughly investigated and the appropriate disciplinary measures are being undertaken.

An honourable member: How many?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: As of this morning, eight staff are currently stood down pending further inquiries and 21 staff have been reported to AHPRA. Another thing I will say about this matter is that I made it very clear to the CE, I have instructed the CE, that no Oakden worker who poses a risk to clients or consumers or residents at that site are to return to the workplace. How the CE handles these matters is a matter for her.
