I cannot imagine how this will work unless carers can afford to go on holiday every time their child requires respite. Otherwise, it's not a break for them. It would be interesting to see the sums required for providing 24 hour care at home. Would it really be cheaper than closing the centre? Think again Fife Council!

Respite is often the only break family carers get and can be the difference between caring for a child and having to consider whether to involve social services and/or putting that child into care.
