Dear Committee

Inquiry into Assistive Technology

The NSW Government made a submission to the above mentioned inquiry on 14 September 2018. We would like to make a correction to a statement made on page 6.

The submission currently states:

“22 days on average from application to delivery for new equipment requests (this includes all applications, including those that are incomplete and need additional information).”

We would like to amend this to:

“22 days on average from application to funding approval for new equipment requests (this includes all applications, including those that are incomplete and need additional information).”

Please advise if you require additional information.

Yours sincerely

Carmen Rechbauer

A/Chief Executive, HealthShare NSW
