Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): Supplementary: when you did ultimately have a conversation with the Premier in respect—

The SPEAKER: No, when the minister had a conversation.

Ms CHAPMAN: Yes, not you, sir. I won't blame you for Oakden ever. My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. When you did ultimately have a conversation with the Premier about the Chief Psychiatrist's report on Oakden, did you inform him at that stage that you had made a decision to close Oakden?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:27): The cabinet had made a decision.
