The Hon. J.M. RANKINE House of Assembly Wright Minister for Families and Communities Minister for Northern Suburbs Minister for Housing Minister for Ageing Minister for Disability DISABILITY SERVICES, COMMUNITY ACCOMMODATION The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Families and Communities, Minister for Northern Suburbs, Minister for Housing, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability): The 2008-09 highlight 'moved approximately 80 people to supported community accommodation or more appropriate accommodation' relates specifically to de-institutionalisation programs managed by Disability Services. It does not represent the total number of people assisted into supported accommodation or more appropriate accommodation. All eighty people were already in some form of supported accommodation. Sixty-nine had been living in another form of supported accommodation operated by Disability Services and eleven had been either residing in, or were at risk of entering residential aged care and were therefore listed as Category 1. The information required under Section 9 of the Julia Farr Services (Trusts) Act 2007 relating to the Department for Families and Communities Annual Report 2007-08 was omitted due to an administrative oversight by the Department and was not picked up by the Auditor-General. This will be corrected in accordance with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet Circular PC013, Annual Reporting Requirements. As at 30 March 2008, 128 people with disabilities were resident at the Fullarton Campus. With respect to the people resident at a place other than the Fullarton Campus, people have returned to a range of supported community accommodation.
