MOTIONS › Oakden Older Persons Mental Health Service
Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (17:47): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator McGRATH: In light of recent findings in relation to failures in the quality of care delivered at the Oakden campus of the South Australian Older Persons Mental Health Service, Minister Wyatt announced an external review that will examine the report by 31 August 2017 on the Commonwealth government aged-care accreditation, monitoring, review, investigation, complaints and compliance processes. The reports requested can be provided within the fortnight, as the department will need some time to integrate the systems and collate all the reports, noting that we could be referring to thousands of pages of documentation.
