Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Can the minister inform us whether she asked questions about the previous status of this alleged perpetrator as to whether or not they had previously been either suspended or under investigation? If not, why not?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:25): I am regularly updated by the CE of Health on all the ongoing investigations about their progress. As I am able to, without jeopardising any of these investigations, I will come back to the house on a regular basis. I reported to the house yesterday and I will continue to report to the house any critical incidents that affect this site. I will not tolerate an ongoing culture of non-disclosure, and that is why the critical incidents are being reported to the house and the general public by the ministerial statement I made earlier today. We will continue to be transparent with the general public of South Australia and this parliament.
