GAGO: </by> Earlier today during question time, an allegation was made that people have been approached and offered drugs outside the mental health facility on the Flinders hospital campus. I am advised that the Director of Mental Health Operations has spoken to the Executive Director, Mental Health, of the Southern Adelaide Health Service, who has advised that the service has not received any complaints regarding people attempting to sell illicit drugs at the entrance of the Margaret Tobin Centre. Further, the entrance is monitored by a surveillance camera as well as reception desk staff.</text>
