          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:15):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Given that two weeks have elapsed since the minister told this parliament she was seeking increased staffing, oversight and supervision at Oakden following the second assault referred to police in 10 days, what increased staffing, oversight and supervision have been put in place?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:16):</by>  The chief psychiatrist on that site, Dr Duncan McKellar, continues to provide the clinical leadership in that space with the team there, which flexes up and down each day according to the number of consumers on that site—and we know, unfortunately, that yesterday there was the sad loss of an older South Australian who was a resident at that site. Those staffing levels and the clinical support that is needed for the complex consumers living at Makk and McLeay and Clements wards are addressed on a daily basis.</text>
