          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:46):</by>  What we do know is that we are acting, and since January have been acting, to correct the circumstances that have been terrible over the information that we have received about Oakden. Correspondence is not something that I see on a day-to-day level. The CE of Health, I'm sure she would have many thousands of pieces of paper that are part of the departmental correspondence. I have said I am happy to inquire about this matter, and I will.</text>
