19  How to work out the actual proportion of respite care provided through a residential care service for a relevant year
 (1) For section 18, the actual proportion of respite care provided through a residential care service for a relevant year is worked out as follows:

      Method statement
           Step 1. Work out, for the relevant year and for each care recipient to whom the residential care service provided residential care in the relevant year, the total number of respite bed days provided by the residential care service.
           Step 2. Add together each of the total numbers of respite bed days worked out under step 1.
           Step 3. Identify, for each care recipient referred to in step 1, the total number of respite bed days provided to the care recipient in the relevant year that exceeded the maximum number of days on which residential care as respite care could be provided to the care recipient during the relevant financial year.
                  Note: The maximum number of days on which a care recipient may be provided with residential care as respite care during a financial year is set out in section 23 of the Subsidy Principles 2014.
           Step 4. Add together each of the total numbers of respite bed days identified under step 3.
           Step 5. Identify each respite bed day provided by the residential care service in the relevant year that exceeded the proportion of care for recipients of respite care that was specified in the conditions that applied in respect of the residential care service at the time the respite bed day was provided.
           Step 6. Add together all the respite bed days identified under step 5.
           Step 7. Add the total number of respite bed days worked out under step 4 to the total number of respite bed days worked out under step 6.
           Step 8. Subtract the sum worked out under step 7 from the total number of respite bed days worked out under step 2.
      The result is the actual proportion of respite care provided through the residential care service for the relevant year.
