Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:50): We just wish that the minister would look at that question time brief, sir, and answer some questions. Supplementary to the minister—and, hopefully, she can look into that magical briefing folder that you were referring to in your comments a few moments ago: how many tier 6 BPSD patients are in transition to tier 7?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:51): I have just outlined a moment ago that these conditions can move up and down on a daily basis. We know that the care and concern of the people that are treating them, they know these matters better than anyone else. It is not my role to inquire into individual consumer's medical conditions to that detail. It would be highly inappropriate. Their families may not want the general public of South Australia to know this degree of information, and it could change on a daily basis.

I rely on the care and consideration of Dr McKellar to manage these staff, with his team, on a daily basis as their conditions fluctuate and solidify with an extremely vulnerable cohort of people with challenging mental health conditions and dementia.
