My question is to the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors. Last week the department of health and aged care confirmed that there are more than 120,000 people waiting for a home-care assessment on top of the 87,000 people waiting for a package. The department also confirmed that no additional plans have been released beyond the attrition rate. Will the government release 20,000 new home-care places now to stop the waitlist growing longer?
