I again thank the Senator for raising this very important matter. There are so many valuable community organisations that rely on departmental funding. Obviously, it would be foolish of me to give a commitment regarding an area for which I have no responsibility, but I will raise the issue with the Minister for Health. As the departmental reply indicates, the Minister expects this to be done within the next month and guarantees that it will be done by the end of the year. Those are his words, not mine.
