Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. When were another five people from Oakden referred to SA Police, given that on 5 June SAPOL told the elder abuse committee that there were three investigations, whereas the Minister for Health's statement to the house yesterday, and the Minister for Mental Health's statement to the house just now, stated that there are now eight referrals?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:22): As I have told the house on a number of occasions, these numbers move up and down on a regular basis. Every time we have the opportunity of updating the house, we do. The current information, I am advised, is that there are eight people who are currently being referred to SAPOL.
