Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:52): Again to the Minister for Mental Health: is the minister familiar with the factors required to create a best practice setting for providing treatment in older persons mental health services?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:52): Could you state the beginning of that again? I am having trouble hearing it.

Mr DULUK: Is the minister familiar with the factors required to create a best practice setting for providing treatment in older persons mental health services?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS: As a non-clinician, I rely on the advice of the clinical team within SA Health to provide me with that information. I do receive a number of opinions from a variety of different people in different sectors, both within the government and non-government sector, about how clinical frameworks can be framed. As we move into the creation of a new model of care in this space, all that information will be collated and considered by the appropriate team within SA Health.
