I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. The review is not as yet
complete.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Yes. A ''Duty
of Care Report — Carer Standard of Care Assessment'' must be
completed within 30 days and provided to the district director for approval.
Any extension to this time frame must be approved by the district director. Due
to the complex nature of this review, the district director has agreed to an
extension of the assessment period to the end of September 2018.
(4) Yes. I table the Department of
Communities' casework practice manual, section 2.1.5.
