Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:37): At that time—that is, on the Monday afternoon when this report was received and read by persons unspecified—did the member or staff or any of the members of the minister's office speak with her about its contents before she read it the following weekend?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:37): Could you repeat the question again, please?

Ms CHAPMAN: After the report was received and read by someone unspecified, did you or members of your staff speak with that person about its contents before you read it on the following weekend?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: As I have stated before, SA Health was going through the report and creating recommendations and an appropriate course of action that the cabinet could consider and act upon at its consideration. There would have been numerous people who would have been looking at this document in preparation to give me recommendations.
