          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:00):</by>  A question to the Minister for Mental Health: has the minister obtained the advice from the CEO of SA Health, that she told the house that she would seek, into the investigation by a private sector law firm into the staff at Oakden and, if so, can she explain the rationale for this approach?</text>

VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:01):</by>  I'm happy to inform the house, and the house would be aware, that MinterEllison has been engaged to provide additional support and to expedite investigations into care and concern complaints and HR matters on the Oakden site. That will assist us in expediting these cases and ensure that procedural fairness is followed but at the same time, for the family members and loved ones who have been residents of Oakden who have had matters investigated, that these matters will be expedited as fast as possible by this government.</text>
