The service is not intended to provide long term or on-going support or to replace any statutory service to which the individual may be entitled. Nor is it intended to offer help with any personal tasks or to administer medication or change dressings. If the need for such services is identified, the co-ordinator will, with the individual's agreement, make an appropriate referral.
