Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Were any of the Oakden staff who have moved to the Northgate facility among those staff who were investigated or received retraining?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:27): As I have outlined to the house before, a number of staff were placed on professional improvement programs. The staff, led by Dr Duncan McKellar, have made all appropriate decisions about HR and who will move across the site. I have made it very clear to everyone on the Northgate site that I expect the very highest standard of care for all of the people who are now residing at Northgate and that people are to comply with their obligations to provide high-quality care to the people living at Northgate.
