Responsibility for services to the intellectually disabled were transferred from the Department of Health and added to the range of services to the physically disabled provided by the Department of Community Services.;;;;The program was known as Willow Court because the services continued to be provided from the Royal Derwent Hospital site. Over the course of the decade a series of cluster houses were established at locations around the state with permanent nursing and welfare staff and the 160 residents of Willow Court were gradually transferred to the newer, less institutional, facilities.;;;;Willow Court was closed in November 2000.
