I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Tests were conducted on 2 June 2006 as part of the development of the design to determine the initial viability of the system. The test provided data that will be used for furthering the design of the system to fit what is already a complex custom-built wheelchair. The proof of concept at this stage of the design is promising. (2) This is yet to be determined. The Rehabilitation Engineering Clinic has to undertake further development of the design. The difficulty in adapting the proof of concept to work in practice in a sensitive social situation without a significant rebuild of the current wheelchair is being progressed. (3) The proof of concept at this stage of the design is promising. Until the success of the final design can be determined, Ms McGhie’s needs will be met via carer support.
