QuestionView source ↗

The Western Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme My Way Trial December 2014 quarterly report at page 15 states that "34 new individuals deem eligible have as their primary disability a psychiatric disability". The September quarterly report states "9 individuals were deem eligible with a psychiatric disability as their primary disability", bringing the total to 43 individuals. However, the December 2014 quarterly report at page 6 states "44 individuals with a psychiatric disability (psychosocial disability) have been found eligible". Will the Minister explain the discrepancy in the figures?

As at 31 December 2014, the Commission correctly reported a total of 44 individuals with a psychiatric disability (psychosocial disability) had been found eligible for the WA NDIS My Way trial, however there was a minor data issue which resulted in one individual not being counted in measure 24 (page 15, noted above) which should have reported 35 instead of 34 individuals. This discrepancy has now been rectified.
