I cannot demand that people who are free to make these decisions should make a different decision. I was disappointed that this happened. I believed there could have been a solution but that did not happen. The service will continue for the people who need it. The pay costs will be the same and the increments will have to be paid. There will be a new management structure rather than a new service but a different service will have to be looked at because in every service we are looking at a different way of doing things.
