There is no disagreement. The ideal is a seamless service that is not interrupted just because the child reaches a particular chronological milestone. Circumstances might not permit it but the ideal is that the nurses providing the home care will continue to do so. That is the argument I will make and I am sure I will be told there are 100 reasons that it cannot happen. Others who deliver services are anxious to deliver it but the ideal is that the child and family can continue with the service they are receiving. I will inquire about this. It should not be happening but I will do my very best to ensure a resolution is found to these cases. It is not just about these three children, but about the broader problem.
