AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question.
Providing the information requested by the honourable member
will require the Disability Services Commission to contact more than 75
disability sector organisations that will then need to retrieve data from two
different months in 2013, as well as provide current figures. When the
commission receives all data from each organisation it will be collated.
Therefore, I request that the honourable member place this question on notice.
