It will be open to anyone in residential care to at any time leave that residential care or to seek a review of their care assessment. This provision enables the HSE to pay financial support from day one of a person's time in care rather than his or her having to wait until the 30 day period specified in the definition has expired. The provision is technical and is aimed at assisting people in obtaining support from day one. This matter has been the subject of careful consideration by the Office of the Attorney General.
