Secondly, have their local NHS trust / Council discussed if they are eligible for a personal budget instead of taking a residential placement? What I mean by this is that certain types of health care can get personal budgets, where the family get the money to spend on the child's care to meet their health outcomes rather than the conventional approach where the NHS/council hold and spend the money?
Might be a red herring but worth a thought in case it gets them funding they need?? I imagine it would be cheaper supporting them to provide the childs care rather than the NHS/council paying a residential home's bill...
