I accept that but I am just giving an example.
I am not quite sure what the Deputy is referring to about three hour assessments. However, if it is a three hour process in assessing a client’s needs, then it is a good development. I do not believe anyone would be happy with a five or ten minute assessment. We need to have comprehensive assessments so as to provide the best and most appropriate supports to a client.
