          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:47):</by>  A supplementary, and I will give the supplementary very slowly. As mentioned in the original question, due to the transfer of funds to the NDIS, community mental health services have received a 25 per cent reduction in funding across the board, regardless of whether their particular client base will be transferring to the NDIS or not. If a 25 per cent reduction in block funding is being directly linked to the transition, how will organisations be able to continue to support extremely vulnerable people such as the homeless community who have very few or no consumers who are going to be on the NDIS?</text>
