introduction of a client purchasing model for early intervention services and the funding by the Government of a pilot program run on the principles of conductive education. In relation to this issue, the Government acknowledges the need for a more intensive program and intends to explore the options for such a program within government and through non-government organisations.

Madam Speaker, each of the issues raised by the committee in its report is addressed in the Government's response and will be given appropriate consideration by the Government in the development of its early intervention policy. Finally, I take this opportunity to restate the Government's continued commitment to appropriate and relevant consultation with the community, which has been in the past and will continue to be an integral part of the development of policies and programs relating to early intervention services. Once again, Madam Speaker, I thank the committee for its consideration of this important issue. I commend the Government's response to the report for members' consideration.

Debate (on motion by Mrs Carnell) adjourned.
