Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): A supplementary: can the minister confirm that there is a further investigation into the employee who has now been dismissed? If so, who is to conduct that investigation?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:27): What I have said, and I will say it again today, is that I will not make any statements in this house that will prejudice ongoing investigations, whether they be through SAPOL, AHPRA or under the auspices of SA Health, that would potentially create the dismissal. I will not jeopardise any of those inquiries. They need to be seen through with appropriate progress and expediency for the faith of the general public but also, most importantly, the residents of Oakden.
