I support the amendment in one respect. I said in a debate on a previous amendment, referring to my own experience, that when I had sought assistance my local authority had informed me that the whole thing was "within available resources" and that it did not have available resources. It looks to me as though the last line of this clause says the same thing in a different way, talking about whether it would, ""impose an unreasonable financial burden on the providing authority"."
Can the Minister explain whether this is the same as "within available resources" or, if not, precisely what it does mean?
