PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:56):</by>  My advice is that there have now been 107 individual assessments that have been completed by NextSense of children who access the program, and that was up until December. NextSense is now preparing detailed reports for the children that they have assessed and WCHN is providing individual meetings for the families to further discuss their findings. We are expecting a consolidated report and I obviously would like to release that publicly. We haven't received that yet but those individual family meetings are occurring to provide those families with the information from their NextSense reviews.</text>
