Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 8 Hansard (29 October) . . Page.. 2537 ..

(5) The total HACC funds for 1998 - 99 is $10,851,000. This provides for both aged and disability services. It is not possible to dissect this amount into aged or disability only. Of this the amount in the ACT Community Care 1998 - 99 purchase contract for the Disability Program is $103,100 HACC funding. This represents 0.95% of the allocation.

(6) With the exception of 1993-94 when $10,000 was paid for training in the then Housing and Community Services Bureau, in relation to HACC there has been no expenditure by ACT Community Care of HACC funds in the redevelopment of its disability services over the past five years. It should be noted however, that ACT Community Care has expended other funds in redeveloping its Disability Program as a result of the continuing commitment to reform the program following the review of ACT Disability Services by Ms Sunny Dell in 1994.
