Hi
The residential units named are for under 18s can DCC show how many young people these units are supporting via short break care during the pandemic?
Please can I request details of the DCC units for over 18s and any private units suitable for a young adult with disabilities.
Pleased that DCC has shown acknowledgment that Diabetes is a disability and requires care.
Please could you provide costing broken down to weekly payments and ranges.
Kind Regards
