Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:26): My question again is to the Minister for Mental Health. What has been done to implement the Chief Psychiatrist's recommendations that capital planning for the purpose-built replacement of Oakden should occur immediately?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:26): I know that we continue to have conversations with SA Health about the appropriate allocation of resources and possible sites about how we care for people with these unique needs across our state. Again, the transitional committee will look at a variety of different sites in the coming months about the options that will be considered.
