(a) No
(b) Packages of support through the Individualised Community Living Strategy are required on a recurrent basis to support individuals in their own homes in the community. The savings made resulted from support packages being allocated and commencing at staggered times throughout the financial year and therefore expenditure on these are not reflective of the full year costs for an individual. This results in one off savings that are not sustained in the following financial year and therefore cannot be committed to additional support packages.
(c) Nil, ICLS do not use a waitlist.
(d) The report has been finalised and a response to it is nearing completion. Once the response has been completed, both the evaluation report and the response to it will be made publicly available.
(e) Not applicable
