Minister, we've heard from a 90-year-old constituent from South Australia who also suffers from Parkinson's. He is mostly wheelchair bound and able to do very little for himself. His daughter has had to give up her permanent job as a teacher and move in to care for him. He has been told it will be up to 12 months before he will receive the home-care package he has been assessed as needing. Will you promise this 90-year-old constituent and his daughter that you will urgently address this waitlist before it is too late?
