DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES – WEBSITE, SURVEY, AND SUBMISSIONS

The Ministry of Social Development have created this Disability Support Services page on their website https://consultations.msd.govt.nz/…/disability-support…/

 

They have opened a survey to gather feedback from the disability sector regarding the future of “sustainable” disability support services. From their website page:

 

“The Disability Support Services Taskforce is working on how disability support services should best be provided in the future.

 

The background to this work is that in August an Independent Review found there was unsustainable spending increases. And a lack of fairness and transparency around what support disabled people can access.

 

The Government wants to put disability support services on a sustainable basis longer-term. The Government also wants to better manage cost pressures and improve consistency, fairness and transparency.”

 

Their survey is anonymous. Alternatively, submissions can be made – check out their page for more info.
