Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:05): Supplementary: did the member for Torrens accompany the Premier and the minister when they visited the Oakden facility last week?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:05): No. The Premier and I attended the site. It is an active mental health aged-care setting. Having people traipsing through wards where residents are already frail and confused is not a desirable thing. That day, we were talking to clinicians about models of care and things we need to do to move this facility and care for those residents as we move forward.
