House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Oakden Mental Health Facility Oakden Mental Health Facility Mr DULUK House of Assembly Davenport Oakden Mental Health Facility Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:16): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Given that concerns over staffing at Oakden were raised with the minister in a letter from the member for Makin in April 2015, why did the minister wait until receiving a letter from the Principal Community Visitor, 18 months later, before taking any action? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Oakden Mental Health Facility The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:16): The letter was to me. It was responded to on my behalf by the now minister, and it was dealt with entirely appropriately. The letter did not raise any specific allegations: it raised issues with regard to the staffing levels at the facility. The inquiry was made with the department of whether the staffing levels were adequate, were sufficient. The answer came back yes and, on my behalf, the then parliamentary secretary responded.
