“(b)shall then decide, having regard to the results of that assessment, and taking account—
(i)where it appears to them that a person (“the carer”) provides a substantial amount of care on a regular basis for that person, of such care as is being so provided; and
(ii)in so far as it is reasonable and practicable to do so, both of the views of the person whose needs are being assessed and of the views of the carer (provided that, in either case, there is a wish, or as the case may be a capacity, to express a view),
whether the needs of the person being assessed call for the provision of any such services.”.
