          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:48):</by>  As I have outlined today, there are a number of families who have expressed a desire that their loved ones be located in an aged-care facility closer to them, and they will be seeking appropriate spaces within the private sector. People's medication, their wellbeing and their medical status have undergone recent and ongoing clinical review by the new clinical leadership team at the Oakden site. Unfortunately, some of these people are acutely unwell and their conditions change on a regular basis. Some people transition in and transition out. Those numbers are fairly fluid, but I am happy to update the house when I get some additional information tomorrow.</text>
