The applicants appealed refusal of their application for judicial review of the refusal of the respondents to provide funding for a hydrotherapy pool or a non-nursing day centre. The centre provided these facilities to support those with mental health difficulties.
Held: The word ‘facilities’ took its meaning from the context. It would not be correct for funding of the building to be provided by the respondent with another body funding the personnel to run it. The respondent was free to fund the service it it felt it appropriate.
