In a meeting with developmental service sector representatives on November 3, 2014, senior bureaucrats with the Ministry of Community Social Services apparently stated that the government’s 2014 budget announcement of $810M for the developmental services sector over three years actually represents $372M.   Developmental service providers and families are expressing concern and confusion given that Ministerial media releases keep repeating the $810M figure. Ministry representatives say that the $810M figure is comprised of annual and fiscal dollars but the actual amount of new money being invested in the sector is $372M.
