87 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014).

1. Why is expenditure of $205,000 required for the Disability Care Management System 2014-15?

2. Are there ongoing problems with the Disability Care Management System?

3. Is the Disability Care Management System meeting the requirements of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the Individualised funding initiative?

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:

1. The expenditure of $205,000 in 2014-15 is required to complete the development of the new Disability Care Management System. This is consistent with the announcement in the 2013-14 Mid-Year Budget Review where investing expenditure of $750,000 in 2013-14 and $205,000 in 2014-15 were provided.

2. The new Disability Care Management System replaces ageing software applications that had been built on now outdated technology.

3. Work to date for the new Disability Care Management System meets the requirements of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Individualised funding.
