Disability Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): Supplementary: are you informing the chamber that you received notification of an incident that eventually led to the death of a person from an incident in state disability care?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:41): What I said is that I am aware of the incident because I do receive these incident management reports. When I answered his initial question, I was responding to probably prior questions that he had asked me about matters going back historically, and the one from 2018 was certainly front of mind at that stage. I can assure him that I do receive these reports and they are followed up, and those particular allegations I will take back to my department and ensure that they are properly investigated.

In the meantime, if any individuals have specific matters that they would like to raise, I am more than happy to take those on, because clearly if there are any further matters that should be investigated that haven't been, then that needs to be done post haste.
