Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (14:24): Supplementary to the Minister for Mental Health: did SA Health respond to SASMOA's concerns about understaffing of the older persons mental health service by committing to a review of its staffing and services?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:24): I have a lot of time for the member for Davenport; I have known him for a long time, but he is falling into the trap of the Leader of the Opposition where he reads a script and doesn't actually listen to the answers. I have just answered that. If you refer to Hansard, I said the chief executive of the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network wrote back to SASMOA. They must have been satisfied with her response because they didn't—

Mr Gardner: Was it committing to a review, as per the question?

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta is warned for the second and final time.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: —seem to escalate it to me. I am sure SASMOA would be very happy to share the correspondence they received back.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I have viewed what Jackie Hanson wrote back to SASMOA. It was purely an issue about medical cover when a particular clinician was off sick and she undertook to continue the locum arrangements that had previously been in place.

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader is warned for the second and final time for interjecting during that answer.
