Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:31): Supplementary: of those who you have clearly given instruction are not to be allowed back on site, how many are they?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:31): I have given a directive that people who are considered to be a risk are not to be allowed back on the Oakden site or in SA Health, as I stated previously, but I don't drive into the day-to-day levels of SA Health's HR management. I get daily reports currently on Oakden, but some of these issues are very, very fluid and moving very rapidly. I have asked AHPRA to expedite all concerns. As I stated in my ministerial statement, I want these matters dealt with as quickly and as promptly as possible.
