Answer
The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust fully anticipates that Redwood will become a registered Home. However, in the event of an unforeseen delay - the Trust intends to continue to seek to expand the provision of Residential Short Breaks, through the Short Breaks Home, Greenhill, based in Downpatrick.
The South Eastern HSC Trust also plans to expand the Community In Reach Short Breaks through the Ministerial investment in Disability Services.
