The examination of care plans prepared by a local authority for the care of a disabled person was not generally a matter for the courts. They required great detail and processes of consultation. Applications to review such plans should therefore only be made as a last resort. The proper course, if the authority had failed to follow the guidelines, was to turn first to the Secretary of State, who may have input. Use could also be made of the authority’s complaint’s procedure.
