Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Can the minister outline to the house what the level of oversight is that is currently in place and what increase in that oversight she is seeking?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:32): I am happy to talk to the CE of Health about that, but it will shift on any day, as I have said, due to illness and a number of other issues. However, I have made it clear that additional scrutiny and additional staffing are needed on that site, as I do not want to see continued reports of incidents on the site. I expect us to have a very high standard of care for those frail and vulnerable South Australians.
