28. Application of the rules to individual cases
The Director of Communities or their successor will make decisions in individual cases where the legislation allows discretion or is unclear and that he/she may delegate this responsibility to a suitable senior officer as appropriate. In reaching a decision, he/she will endeavour to ensure that the decision is fair and consistent and will result in all persons with care and support needs being treated fairly. Such decisions will not prevent a person with care and support needs from requesting a review of the decision through the appropriate process
