Disability Transport Services

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:21): Supplementary: were any of the vehicles that were available for people living in share houses directly funded previously from state government in terms of being owned by state government—part of the SA fleet?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:21): I would have to check. She has used the term 'directly'. There may have been grants that have been provided through Grants SA. I understand that Grants SA funds various things like Variety Club and so forth. As to whether there was a specific grants program for transporting people with disabilities, I don't think that would be the case. I think they would have received funding under the block funding arrangement and then they would have made decisions as to whether they purchase vehicles and the like. But I would need to double-check. If that is not the case, I will bring back a response for the honourable member.
