Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): A supplementary: when the Minister for Mental Health had been advised that this worker's conduct had previously been investigated, and noting that she has now asked for a review of the review, did the minister receive any information as to what the allegations were and what action was taken?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:39): As this is a review that is ongoing, until I have the precise facts from the family, by SA Health with an incident report, I will rely on that information to come forward. I think it is best that the investigation takes place, and for the families concerned it will be investigated rigorously. I will not tolerate SA Health or any employees saying they have investigated something and something not to be done.
