Hon JENNY SALESA: This funding boost has been well received by the community, who agree that it is well overdue. Dr Garth Bennie, chief executive of the Disability Support Network, said—and I quote—"The Budget has lifted support for the disability community to record levels. This will make a real difference in people's lives after years of funding falling behind the cost of delivering disability support services." We know there are many outstanding issues in the disability sector to address. However, this is a monumental step forward in the right direction in terms of the services and support for disabled New Zealanders.
