Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:17): My question is again to the Minister for Mental Health. After being told by the Principal Community Visitor in his letter of 14 October 2016 that an investigation into the complaints of Mrs Barbara Spriggs about her husband's care had been undertaken by the consumer liaison officer, did the minister immediately seek information about this investigation and, if not, why not?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:17): As I have outlined to the parliament today, when I had the letter arrive from the community visitor I asked for a briefing. That briefing I expected to be comprehensive and covering all the areas that I would need to be able to think about, and make a decision about, this matter and the seriousness that it potentially would bring.
