Carer Support is changing to I Choose. You will have read in our In Touch magazine that it was meant to become available on the 1st December. However, this change has been delayed in order to ensure that all the systems are firmly in place to ensure that it will succeed. To find out more information click here.
The Ministry is replacing Carer Support to I Choose, this will provide you with a more flexible type of respite support. The way it will differ is that you will receive a once or twice year cash payment into your bank account. You will be able to use the money to purchase services you want, as long as it gives you a break from your caring role.
