Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:14): Nevertheless, can the minister indicate whether she will release the Oakden letter, which is referenced in her ministerial statement, to the house today?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:14): I have told you honestly what has occurred in these incidents and you continually twist the truth. We have acted appropriately. When information has been brought to me, I have triggered the inquiry. The review has taken place. The cabinet has adopted all six of the recommendations. Oakden will be closed. The residents will be moved to safer and better facilities at Northgate aged care or other clinically appropriate aged-care services.
