A new case of abuse at Adelaide’s state-run Oakden nursing home last week has been referred to police, leading to the suspension of another staff member at the condemned facility. Mental Health Minister Leesa Vlahos, who has resisted calls to resign since the scandal erupted a month ago, yesterday told parliament the new incident was reported to an Oakden clinical unit manager on Saturday. The latest suspension, related to alleged abuse witnessed by a family member of another patient on Tuesday last week, takes the total to 10 since a report into the aged-care facility was released last month. Another staffer has been sacked while one has resigned.
