Northgate Aged Care Service

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Given that the Groves review highlighted as a key aspect of the design future for the purpose-built facility for the replacement of Oakden, firstly, that there should be private bathrooms—

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader will ask something interrogative.

Ms CHAPMAN: How can the Northgate facility, which doesn't have these, satisfy the Groves recommendation?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:44): The transition model of care and the full implementation of the six Oakden review recommendations are part of the scope of the transition committee that I have spoken about today numerous times in the chamber. The Chief Psychiatrist will of course be involved in that ongoing piece of work.
