Slippage/Variations/Reason for Withdrawal: This report has been withdrawn as further work is needed to ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the marketplace for alternative residential care provision, for those individuals with the most complex needs for whom non-residential alternatives are not considered appropriate, either on a spot purchase or block contract basis. This has become more challenging following Hampshire County Council's recent decision to limit the use of their facilities to Hampshire residents.
