Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Of the 12 employees who were under a suspension which then reduced to eight, and you have advised the house today are now back to 10, how many of the families of those victims were informed of the suspension of those workers?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:49): I know the CE of NALHN is regularly meeting with the family members. Those meetings are occurring every day and I know the new head of the unit is meeting with families every day. As this information shifts as the investigations go forward, I have undertaken to update the house on a regular basis. I have informed the house today of one resignation and one dismissal. As soon as information comes to hand to me, I will update the house on a daily basis on this matter as fresh information becomes available.

Mr van Holst Pellekaan interjecting:

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Stuart is warned.
