Domiciliary Care SA

93 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). Why was the estimated result in 2013-14 for Domiciliary Care SA—Office Accommodation, only $100,000, when $500,000 was allocated in the 2013-14 budget and $943,000 in 2014-15?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. Elements of the project have been completed, namely upgrading accommodation on the Strathmont Centre site to accommodate domiciliary care staff formerly located at the Lyell McEwin Hospital. Work is continuing to determine the high-level strategic plan for other accommodation that is required for domiciliary care. The remaining funds are required to continue the consolidation of functions and services to achieve an overall reduction in lease costs.
