Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. When the minister received the letter from the Principal Community Visitor, dated 14 October 2016, complaining about her department's four-month delay in responding to concerns of Oakden families, why did she send it to the very same department and wait another two months for a response to wander back?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Health is warned, and the member for Unley is warned for the second and the last time. Minister.

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:55): When I receive correspondence from the community visitor, it is natural for you to go back to the local area health network that involves that complaint. My first step was to contact the CEO of NALHN and trigger a briefing. We now know that that set in train a series of events that has led to a document becoming public, which is the Oakden review that the Chief Psychiatrist undertook. The fact-gathering stage started at that point in time.
