The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:35): Now that group home bus services have dwindled under the Marshall Liberal government, what is the status of those vehicles? Specifically, how many vehicles did the state government use in this capacity, how many do they use now and what is their intended use into the future?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:35): The honourable member didn't specify whether she was talking about non-government services or whether they were government services. My understanding is that, if they are government-run group homes, any of the fleet vehicles continue to be able to be used, because, while those clients are transitioning to the NDIS, they remain under in-kind arrangements and so those situations continue as long as the in-kind funding is in place.
