          <by role="member" id="1807">Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:58):</by>  My question is again to the Minister for Disabilities. Can the minister tell the house how many South Australian residents are currently on plans funded by the NDIS, how many are waiting for approval, and how many are not yet approved?</text>

VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:59):</by>  I have received some transitional data from the NDIA for the month of April. I believe that in April 348 children have had their first plan approved, and this brings the total of participants for the plan to 6,173.</text>
