          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:45):</by>  I don't know if you would like to hear it again, Mr President, but I make the point that I expect there will be no impact, because if we work together—non-government organisations, state-funded programs and the NDIS—we will work for a continuity of support that means that there should not be service gaps.</text>
        <text id="2019060513e0f9af0d464a5580000162">Of course, there will be challenging transitions. I am sure that the Labor opposition, as part of their fear campaign and spreading misinformation, will be able to find a case where somebody is not receiving continuity of support. I would urge them to take up the suggestion of the Chief Psychiatrist, which is to make him aware of any issues of continuity of support as we transfer funding from state-funded programs to the NDIS. It's a commitment that the government has made. It's a commitment that the Chief Psychiatrist is delivering.</text>
