The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:03): A further supplementary: can the minister confirm whether that letter was prior to the same providers being notified by telephone by project managers that they would need to meet in order to discuss the first tranche of reductions in funding?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:04): I am certainly aware that the Chief Psychiatrist's letter was after contact was being made with some providers because one of the key purposes was to clarify that it was transfers, not cuts.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bonaros, a further supplementary.
