          <by role="member" id="5414">The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:08):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding disability. When asked in this place on 9 June about her senior executive's confirmation of 'an air of neglect in disability accommodation', the minister claimed it related to a home that had since closed. How would the minister describe a service that was opened under her watch, and remains open, where residents have festering wounds requiring hospitalisation?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:08):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I believe she is drawing a few different services together. As I said on 9 June, the remarks made by the executive in the royal commission related to a particular house, which we have since closed. I can go through the list of things that we have been doing in accommodation services to improve those services. </text>
        <text id="20210622d5ebbec9a7e0416f80000228">Can I say that I believe that the culture of accommodation services under our government is miles ahead of where it was under Labor. We have done so many things. I am incredibly proud of what the team has undertaken in that space. I am happy to read out all of those matters again for the honourable member, if she would like me to. I invite her through a supplementary. I am prepared to provide that information, but I have provided that already in great detail about all of the actions that have been undertaken through our accommodation services.</text>
