The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:12): Can the minister guarantee that no NGO will be worse off as a result of the 25 per cent reduction, transfer or cut—whatever you want to refer to it as—as a result of this funding?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:12): So, Labor persists in the misrepresentation! Last week we had bald statements about 25 per cent across-the-board cuts. The letter that was sent out from the chief executive of SA Health made it very clear that it is not across-the-board cuts. The transfer of funding will relate to the proportion of NDIS-eligible clients in that program group.
