Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (15:02): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Has any staff from the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network, other than members of the Chief Psychiatrist's review team, visited any of the high-quality services for people with severe and very severe BPSD in New South Wales, Victoria or Western Australia, which have been identified as best practice in the Oakden report?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:02): I do know that the review committee that undertook the Oakden report had extensive consultations with a number of people who are best practice in aged-care services around the country. I know that Dr Duncan McKellar, one of the review panellists, has actually commenced his role at Oakden at the beginning of this week, as well as an interim nurse unit manager with extensive aged-care dementia and regulatory compliance experience at Oakden. I would have to inquire more broadly from SA Health of the extent of any interstate contacts about quality services interstate.
