Dear Mr Murphy

Thank you for your letter of 25 August 2011 regarding a petition recently submitted for the consideration of the Standing Committee on Petitions requesting that the National Disability Insurance Scheme be implemented immediately.

As the issue you have raised falls within the portfolio responsibilities of the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Ho n. Jenny Macklin MP, I have referred your letter to Minister Macklin for her consideration and appropriate action.

from the Minister for Health and Ageing, Ms Roxon
