VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:48):</by>  The Premier and I have met with a number of families who have come forward who have had bad experiences with their loved ones at Oakden. I have had a number of meetings with people in this time and space and remain open to talking to the families of people affected by the Oakden story. What we do know is that we are in regular contact with some of the family members about these issues ongoing and that we will continue to brief the parliament and those family members on a regular basis.</text>
