Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): My question is to the Premier. During the four years that the Premier was the minister for ageing, did he visit the Oakden Older Persons Mental Health Service?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:33): The Oakden Older Persons Mental Health Service was always within the ministerial responsibilities of either the Minister for Health or, when that portfolio was created, the Minister for Mental Health, so it didn't fall within the aged-care portfolio, so I had no portfolio responsibility for that particular facility. I have no recollection of visiting that facility during that period.
