Mental Health Services

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:52): Thank you for your courtesy. Yes, it is a supplementary regarding the transition referred to by the minister. How many people in hospitals are awaiting an NDIS plan and how many state mental health clients are awaiting an NDIS plan?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:52): The information that I have available to me is that of the 1,700 SA Health-funded mental health clients, 23 per cent have approved and funded NDIS plans, and a total of 32 per cent of psychosocial clients who have been deemed eligible for the NDIS will need to move to funded plans.
