Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:34): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. After the Chief Psychiatrist commenced his review into the Oakden facility, when did the minister first receive a briefing on the review?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:34): Once the independent review was triggered, I was waiting for it to be brought back to my office, which we know was the Monday before the Easter long weekend. It arrived in the office late that afternoon.

Mr Bell interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call to order the member for Mount Gambier.
