The claimants complained that in making their decisions about future provision of care services to them, the authorities had failed to give appropriate recognition of their needs and rights. The authorities had referred to these.
Held: The decisions were vitiated. The reference on is own was insufficient to meet the statutory duties. Though it made reference to the issues it was not possible to conclude that due regard had been given.
