The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:53): Further supplementary arising from the original answer: with the loss of these 43 jobs, what will be the impact on clients in the category of the exceptional needs program? Does the minister concede that with further job losses there is likely to be a significant crisis in the sector concerning exceptional needs clients?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:53): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. There are, in fact, two classes of service that can be considered in the Exceptional Needs Unit. There is the state-funded exceptional needs programs that I outlined previously, and they will continue. Anglicare has advised that they expect they will continue to be able to provide services to their existing exceptional needs clients.
