Integrity Care

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:37): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Human Services a question regarding Integrity Care.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: On Tuesday in this place, the minister said that all South Australian HACC-funded services had been advised that:

…they cannot subcontract state government-funded services without permission. We have not found any records granting current permission to subcontract to Integrity Care.

My question to the minister is: what exactly has the minister done to ensure that no local council in this state did in fact subcontract HACC-funded services to Integrity Care?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:37): I thank the honourable member for his question. My department contacted any of the councils that received HACC funding.
