Services:
I
refer to the ''My Life, My Choice'' report of the Joint Select
Committee on End of Life Choices tabled in August 2018 and
recommendation 9 of the minority report, which states —
The Minister for Disability Services
should develop a plan, in consultation with people with disabilities, carers,
the Minister for Health and health practitioners, to deliver equitable access
to health care in Western Australia.
What is the status of that plan?

I thank the honourable member for
the question.
As the honourable member alluded to,
that recommendation was in fact in the minority report of the committee to this
chamber. It was not the view of the majority of the committee and no action has
been taken on it. While I am on my feet, I advise the honourable member that a great
deal of work on a state disability plan is happening in the disability space at
the moment. That will look at what services and supports should be provided to
people with disability into the future, and that work has been consulted on by
the Ministerial Advisory Council on Disability and also by the Disability
Services Commission board this year. The consultation has taken place across Western
Australia and I am confident that the state disability plan will be a great
blueprint for the future of service provision for people with disability in
this state.
