Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:25): Can the minister explain then whether families of patients or residents before 2016 were contacted as part of this review?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:25): I will have to check with the Chief Psychiatrist about that, but the terms of reference were initially framed around the information and care and concerns raised by the Spriggs family, which were triggered by the community visitor's letter to my office in October, which I am happy to release with the appropriate FOI and privacy constraints, as would be a normal response.
