Good Morning All

I am pleased to report that I was advised at a meeting on the 22nd March that the Department has reinstated the full extra funding of $384,000 for 2011, with at least that amount recurrent. I have been asked to prepare the 2012 Eskleigh Home Budget and submit that to the Department. An exercise to assess the support requirements of each resident at Eskleigh Home has commenced. This data will be used to develop the budget.

I will be making contact with staff, families and our supporters advising them of the reinstatement of the funding

This is an excellent result


The Department stressed to me that the reinstatement of the full funding was not influenced by our approach to the Minister or the press reports

Regards

Dale Luttrell
