          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:30):</by>  I meet with a number of families who have had loved ones at the facility, at the old Makk and McLeay wards. I talk to them regularly about things and I have recently met them again. People who make inquiries, we are happy to share that information before us, but we haven't had the situation where we have gone into a winter break before, and we are happy to continue to update the general public. Traditionally, we have been doing that via parliamentary statements.</text>
