Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Have any of the patients transferred to mainstream nursing homes been transferred back to an SA Health facility since they were moved from Oakden?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:33): Not to my knowledge at this point of time but, again, because they are private people in a private aged-care setting, it wouldn't necessarily be brought to my attention straightaway because they are no longer under the care of the Makk and McLeay team. I am sure that we would have heard if that had been the case, but I am happy to make inquiries. Not to my knowledge at this point of time.
