Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Will any of the patients currently at Oakden be transferred to the Northgate aged-care facility?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:45): As I have said in numerous ministerial statements, there will be two cohorts of people who leave the Makk and McLeay site at Oakden. There will be a group that are particularly unwell, who will go to the Northgate aged-care facility. There will be another cohort of residents who will be moving to the private aged-care sector, and I have spoken about that in my ministerial statements in the past.
