Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:32): Supplementary to the Minister for Mental Health: given your instruction, before you made this statement to parliament today, did you make any inquiry as to how many people have been suspended and, according to your directions, not let back on site?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:32): What we do know is that 21 people have been directed to AHPRA. There are people who have made procedural errors and have had appropriate clinical training and guidance, and are under professional management plans for their employment in SA Health. Those people will be potentially allowed to continue to do their work under appropriate HR status.
