Personal Assistant Services for Individuals with a Disability: Discussion
1:30 pm
Ms Patsy Carr:
The Senator also asked about moving from a congregated setting. Currently, the PA hours are available for those with sensory and physical disability but as we move from congregated settings, perhaps people with an intellectual disability, ID, will need some services as well. Currently, we do not have an agreed definition of the ideal service. Obviously, we will develop a policy around that in conjunction and consultation with our service users.
