Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): Has the minister now received the advice she told the house that she would seek last Thursday whether staff at Oakden who have been stood down or referred to AHPRA include any staff from management levels?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:36): As I have stated in the chamber today, I will not disclose any information that will prejudice any investigations that are currently underway. I want a speedy conclusion to these investigations; that is the reason we have brought MinterEllison in to assist us with the workload that we are undertaking, that the CE is undertaking in her appropriate roles, but I will not reveal anything that jeopardises a productive outcome to these investigations.
