Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:50): Supplementary: is the minister aware of the draft statewide model of service for older persons mental health in South Australia, which was given to the government, and considered by the government, in December 2007?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:50): Is this one of the documents that's in the index of the Oakden report?

An honourable member: We ask the questions.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: I am just seeking some clarity.

Mr Gardner: That's not under the standing orders available to you, minister.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: I am just seeking clarity on which particular report he is referring to.

Mr GARDNER: Point of order, sir: standing order No. 97 gives the minister no opportunity to do this. We ask the questions.

The SPEAKER: I don't recall a standing order that says 'we ask the questions'.

Mr GARDNER: The questions may be put to ministers, not by ministers.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: I was just trying to clarify.

The SPEAKER: Can we have a meeting of minds on this?

Mr MARSHALL: Is the minister aware of any draft statewide model of care for older persons mental health that has been prepared by this government previous to the current consideration?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: I have been in the parliament since 2010. I would have to ask the department to go back through its historical records.
