New Standard Operating Procedure for Assessment of Need under the Disability Act 2005: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Vickie Kirkpatrick:
I believe there is a report in the UK that £1 spent saves £4 later. I can get the report with regard to this knock-on effect in the system and why early assessment of people's strengths and needs means structures can be put in place to support them and, where further assessments are required, onward referrals can be made.
