Northgate Aged Care Service

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Supplementary: given that a further recommendation of the Groves review which they highlighted was the provision of multisensory rooms at the facility and that Northgate doesn't have them, again how can that possibly be compliant with what is recommended?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:46): My understanding is that there is going to be a variety of different breakout spaces apart from bedrooms. I have walked through the Northgate facility in its old state before it was renovated. I'm not currently aware, because of the workmen being in there, of the actual floor plan for the design and allocation of those different spaces, apart from the consumer bedrooms, but I am happy to check that out and come back to the house.
