Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:39): A further question to the Minister for Mental Health: did any members of the minister's office speak with the Premier or any of his staff about the contents of the Chief Psychiatrist's report before the Premier went on leave?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:40): As I have said before, the Premier's office is aware of many things in government. They knew that the independent review was on its way and its report-back timetable, and numerous people in SA Health would have been working collaboratively with my office to work on the recommendations.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned for the second and final time. Deputy leader.
