In reply to the Hon. S.G. WADE (21 July 2010) (First Session).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised:

The latest Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing Data (April 2011) reports that in South Australia over the past ten years, there was a net reduction of five people with disabilities under the age of 50 in residential aged care.
