We have 63 clients at the moment. We have 9 new carers and we have 12 carers on the waiting list. We are now providing 140hrs per week in total, 18hrs a week are for Care at Home, paid for by Social Work or Self-Directed Support. We are going to Tiree to meet with potential staff and speak with local organisations regarding starting a respite service on the Island. The service on Mull is growing, we now have 4 staff covering the island. We are also receiving more referrals for respite on the Isle of Seil too. So we are getting out to the remote and rural areas of Oban, Lorn and the Isles. We are looking for more staff so that we can work through the waiting list and get people started as soon as we can.
