National Service Standards

108 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). Why does the state government have such a low target for 2014-15 in relation to the number of agencies which have had National Service Standards appraised or externally reviewed?

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:

In the split of the Home and Community Care program, the commonwealth government is now responsible for some appraisals previously carried out by the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI). Consequently, the number of quality standards appraisals being undertaken by DCSI has reduced.
