44Supplementary provision about the duties to meet carer’s needs
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes
(1)This section applies in relation to the duties under sections 40 and 42.
(2)Meeting some or all of a carer’s needs for support may involve the provision of care and support to the person cared for by the carer, even where there would be no duty to meet the person’s needs for that care and support under section 35 or 37.
(3)Where a local authority is required by section 40 or 42 to meet some or all of a carer’s needs for support, but it does not prove feasible for it to do so by providing care and support to the person cared for by the carer, it must, so far as it is feasible to do so, identify some other way in which to do so.
