Disability Services

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:26): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Will the minister confirm that her office received correspondence on 18 October 2018 from a member of the opposition, bringing to her attention the specifics, including the names of two disability support clients, alleging serious instances of abuse and misconduct?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:27): I have referred to this matter, in the sense that I did receive correspondence from the honourable member. She attached a letter, which was from a third party organisation, which she didn't provide to me until three weeks later. My understanding is that the subsequent letter was not something that she provided to me until this year. I am not going to comment on any investigations because that would be inappropriate.
