Mental Health Services

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:54): Has SA Health produced any projections in relation to those clients who will not qualify for NDIS funding in terms of the costs of emergency department presentations, ambulance services and the actual cost of providing mental health services to those clients?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:55): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary. Let me stress again that the state government, under the NDIS plan, will only be transferring funding that relates to clients who will be eligible and receiving services through NDIS. Clients who are not eligible for the NDIS will continue to receive ongoing psychosocial services through state-funded non-government organisation programs, such as individual rehabilitation support, supported housing, mutual self help, and care, respite and support programs.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bonaros, a supplementary?
