Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:08): Supplementary: minister, why didn’t you immediately take up the Principal Community Visitor's offer in his letter to discuss the issues with you in person so that he could provide additional information to you as he outlined?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:08): I have already answered a similar question in this chamber today about this. It is appropriate to seek a briefing on these matters before you meet with people directly. In this instance, I then asked NALHN, the relevant health network, to provide me a briefing on this matter, and I do regularly meet with all of the statutory officers.
