Disability Funding

64 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). How will the $10.4 million allocated for additional resources to the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion to support people living with a disability and for carers of people living with a disability be spent?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

The $10.4 million funding assisted clients with the highest priority of need, through the provision of supported accommodation and respite packages, and personal support packages. The funding also assisted people with disability who were ready to be discharged from hospital to home or supported accommodation.
