We will get back to the person-centred staff. In her opening statement Ms Downes referred to "well-being". I do not like words like "well-being" because they are not scientific enough for me. Looking at Caranua's spend, there is a section on the sample of services provided in health supports. With regard to evaluating who Caranua is getting, for example counselling is the first item that struck me. When counselling is paid for from the fund, does Caranua question if it is a qualified person or is it wherever the client wants to go? I just want a "yes" or "no" response because I want to get through this.
