Rehabilitation Services

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:00): My question is to the Minister for Disabilities. Will the minister guarantee continued state government funding for psychosocial rehabilitation services for clients not covered by the NDIS?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:00): There are a large number of issues that we are currently discussing at the Disability Reform Council at a national level, and it has been unfortunate because of the caretaker mode and minister Porter's busyness that we have not been able to progress some of these issues. There is a great deal of interest in the community about these supports, and it is something that all ministers around the table have raised with minister Porter and his assistant, minister Prentice. I will continue to pursue that very strongly on behalf of all South Australians and the state.

The SPEAKER: Member for Davenport.
