I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Accommodation
options for the current long-term residents of the Quadriplegic Centre are
entirely dependent on the outcome of the personal planning currently being
undertaken with residents. Once residents' needs have been identified,
the housing solution that best meets those needs will be determined.
(2)–(3) Work is currently being undertaken to identify
alternative respite and accommodation options in the metropolitan area that can
be utilised by people required to travel to Perth for medical and
rehabilitation support. It is planned for these alternative options to be in
place by the time the Quadriplegic Centre closes.
