Short Breaks are individual to the clients own assessed need and where those can
be met best, so this determines if their need is met by Stat or non-stat service with
each having their own criteria.
Short breaks during the pandemic period were provided by assessed critical need,
hence figures in April as this was a critical need at that particular time for these
individual families.
Due to a suspected case of COVID 19 in the non-stat provider in June no short
breaks were able to be facilitated to adhere to PHA guidance.
