        <text id="20190404434ec8dbdd6c47eda0000111">
          <inserted>That the final report of the committee, entitled 'Review of the operation of the Motor Vehicles (Lifetime Support Scheme) Act 2013', be noted.</inserted>

        <text continued="true" id="20190404434ec8dbdd6c47eda0000112">Before beginning my remarks, on behalf of the Social Development Committee I first of all acknowledge and thank those who have contributed to this review, including the Lifetime Support Authority (LSA) and board, for their assistance in providing the committee with very comprehensive evidence throughout the review; the Compulsory Third Party Insurance Regulator, for providing detailed information on the CTP insurance scheme; the specialists from the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre, for their contribution to the review—their expert evidence greatly aided the committee's understanding of the trauma and rehabilitation involved when a person experiences catastrophic injury; and the insurance industry and the legal profession, who provided their technical and insightful evidence on CTP insurance claims.</text>
        <text id="20190404434ec8dbdd6c47eda0000113">The committee also thanks Mr John Walsh, the disability advocacy organisations that were central in the development of the Lifetime Support Scheme and its operation and, importantly, the Lifetime Support Scheme participants, their families and loved ones, whose evidence of the individual experience of living with catastrophic injury and the manner in which the Lifetime Support Scheme has assisted each of them has been invaluable. Thanks are also extended to my fellow committee members.</text>
        <text id="20190404434ec8dbdd6c47eda0000114">The committee of the Fifty-Third Parliament, of which I was also a member, commenced the review of the Motor Vehicle Accidents (Lifetime Support Scheme) Act 2013 and had already heard the oral evidence. I seek leave to continue my remarks.</text>
        <text id="20190404434ec8dbdd6c47eda0000115">Leave granted; debate adjourned.</text>
