          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Why did the minister state, in a press release of 20 April 2017, that 'in December last year I became aware of concerns about the care of a resident at the Makk and McLeay Older Persons Mental Health Facility at Oakden', when she had received a letter dated 14 October 2016 from the Principal Community Visitor informing her of these concerns a full two months earlier than stated in her own press release?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:18):</by>  We have covered this ground many times over the preceding weeks. The opposition has failed to read the ministerial statements a number of times or has misread them. When I received an inquiry from the Principal Community Visitor in October, I triggered a briefing inquiry to the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network. We now know that that is the trigger. Thankfully, the Spriggs family fought through this with the community visitor, and the breadth of the inquiry that their inquiry set off—also triggered by me in December—is now known as the Oakden review.</text>
