I assure the Leader of the Opposition and everybody else in the house that the government’s response is being developed collectively as a whole-of-government response. The Disability Services Commission and I as the minister are having a significant input into that. People with families have been encouraged to be involved in that response through a variety of different forums that have taken place and that are still to take place. That work is continuing. We understand that a whole-of-government response will be provided by the end of the month.
