As I was saying, this is a largely consistent with the move from block funding into a demand driven system. One of the most important things to realise also is that, as part of this process, 100,000 people in Australia who currently live with disability are now able to access a package specifically designed for their specific needs—100,000 people who otherwise wouldn't be able to.

In the case of the question asked by Senator Gallagher, I am more than happy to provide the budget documents so that she can see the exact numbers herself.
