          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:40):</by>  NALHN and I are working as a group through the CE and the staff of that network on a daily basis to ensure that care and the accreditation standards at the Oakden site move forward. This government is very committed to ensuring that the standards at that site increase. The fact that we actually have had this reporting come through is an example that there is now a culture that the cover-up is disappearing and that people feel comfortable and no longer feel threatened to report incidents as they occur.</text>
