I'll clarify. In Mr Rubenach's case, he was approved, under the NDIS in Tasmania, for a tilt bed, and he was also approved to have a motorised wheelchair. He died before those resources could be provided to him. There was unnecessary delay. We know it's not an isolated case, because we know there are others, and I'm sure that these will come to light at other stages in the public eye. But what I want the minister to do is to assure the chamber that Mr Rubenach's very tragic circumstances will not be repeated.
