Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
On the single front door policy, we have examples of it already. We have one in the top end of the midlands, which is a very good example of it. We presented that to 600 professionals the other day. We have to do some modification of the policy, which I think will happen over the summer. There will be many workshops with the professionals who are involved in the process. Despite the fact that I am sure I will meet challenges in the industrial relations space, as I said, I have said I believe we can make it happen in October 2025. That is my view. It would be helped if we had an electronic referrals system. We do not have that yet, unfortunately, but if we have paper in one place, there is nothing wrong with having it in another place, so I do believe we can do that.
