AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The outcomes of consultation will be determined in the context of the home and community care business plan, which is progressing. That process will identify the highest priorities for each region and will be completed prior to 1 November 2000. Its priorities will form the basis on which submissions are called for the annual home and community care growth funding round. (2) The functioning of the new and enhanced programs and services funded through the 2000-01 growth funding round are dependent on the readiness and capability of agencies to commence, following notification of approval of the proposal. The approval of new and/or enhanced services funded by this mechanism is subject to final approval by the commonwealth Minister for Aged Care. It is anticipated that the 2000-01 growth funding round will be submitted to the Commonwealth for approval by 31 December 2000. (3) Yes. (4) Not applicable.
