NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME - BLOCK FUNDING EXTENSIONS

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:34): Is the minister aware of any undertakings that have been given by the department in relation to block funding being extended on a one-plus-one-plus-one-year basis?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:35): That is not ringing a specific bell unless it's in relation to specific areas where we have identified that there are gaps in services. The majority of the, I think it is, $743 million from South Australia is transitioning through but there are interface issues that we are managing on the way through and so there may be some services that we are trying to support on the way through. But, in the main, the general services that most people would be familiar with should be. They are due to be transitioned by 30 June and so funding for the vast majority of services will be the responsibility of the NDIS.
