From: Craig Nielsen
Dear Ministry for Disabled People,
Official information request: Disability residential funding
Please supply the following information under the Official information Act (OIA):
The per-person funding rates for citizens eligble for community or residential supported living that are classifed as:
* High, or Very High Ongoing Resource Scheme (Ministry of Education term) users
* Any other form of disability funded support in a residential, supported, or community setting
I understand that this request may now be handled by Ministry of Social Development (MSD), or other department due to the transition of support and funding to MSD. If this is the case, please forward this request to the appropriate respondent.
Yours faithfully,
Craig Nielsen

Dear OIA_requests (WHAIKAHA),
Please accept my apologies for the delay replying, i was unaware a request for additional information had been made.
First request is the title of the request should read "allocated post schooling" -my bad on the keyboard.
Clarfication on point one, utilising the terminology Ongoing Resource Scheme (ORS) was intended to make a clear request relevant to the terminology that is used in a school/ education setting, for those supports being carried over/moved into a post-school setting, either a residential provider, or day service type provision. To the best of my knowledge the term ORS (High, Very High) are determiining factors for what supports, services and funding a person can receive when they leave the school setting. The reason for asking this question of Whaikaha, and now through MSD is that Disability Support Services have, or are being moved to MSD -hence the expectation that the information would be held in this portfolio.
The intention of the OIA request was to understand the funding allocated to an individual once they have left school and entered the adult world.
Yours sincerely,
Craig Nielsen
