          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:41):</by>  I expect that there will be no impact on emergency departments because the government is committed, according to the agreement that your party signed in government, to continuity of support. We will be working vigorously to deliver on our commitment, which is to ensure that clients get continuity of support.</text>

        <text id="20190605cce929e4119d441680000142">Let me say this again: clients. Unlike the Labor Party, mental health consumers do not like being called 'patients'. Let's get a reality check here. Labor is willing to stoop to the despicable level of spreading misinformation and fear. This government will deliver important reforms for people with disability. We want to put them at the centre of their care.</text>
