DISABILITY SERVICES

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:51): I have a supplementary question. I understood the member's question was: what is the leadership of the minister's department doing to facilitate the cultural change and changed mindsets of public servants to make self-managed funding real and effective?

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable member is quite capable of asking her own supplementary if she thinks the question was not answered.

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT: I was going to ask it anyway, so he may as well.

The PRESIDENT: Minister, do you want to respond to that?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:51): Let me just say that if the Hon. Mr Wade had listened to my answer he would know that I said that the department is working with the NGO sector, with Purple Orange. My department is working with the NGO sector to help them and support them through this transition.
