Airbus IAE Engines oil pressure on start

I have just discovered that the FADEC (which will initiate the abort of an auto start) does not monitor oil pressure on start.

I believe that the engine oil low pressure ECAM is inhibited until after the start of the first engine.

Does this mean that the pilot must monitor oil pressure on start and initiate the abort if no rise in oil pressure (certain value) after a certain time ?

In other turbines I have flown, you watched it closely on start and this was one of the many reasons to abort the start.

I can't find any information in the manual regarding this regarding this matter for an Airbus.
