Absolutely. Some people could not function without that 24-7 care. That is important to note. Other people will simply need help getting dressed and getting out in the morning to go to work, in some cases, and will need help on returning home in the evening. It is very much individualised. It is a bespoke service. We should be very conscious that it makes the difference between people being able to become actively engaged in society, whether through work or otherwise, or not being able to do so.
