33  How to work out the specified proportion of respite care provided through a residential care service for a relevant year
 (1) For section 31, the specified proportion of respite care for the approved provider of a residential care service and a relevant year is worked out as follows:

      Method statement
           Step 1. Work out the proportion of care for recipients of respite care, expressed as a number of notional respite bed days, as specified in the conditions that applied in respect of the residential care service at the start of the relevant year.
           Step 2. Work out the applicable period of time in relation to the proportion of care worked out under step 1.
           Step 3. Multiply the proportion of care worked out under step 1 by the applicable period of time worked out under step 2.
           Step 4. If the basis for the calculation of the proportion of care in relation to the residential care service changes during the relevant year, work out the proportion of care for recipients of respite care, expressed as a number of notional respite bed days, as specified in the conditions that applied at the time the change took effect.
           Step 5. Work out the applicable period of time in relation to the proportion of care worked out under step 4.
           Step 6. Multiply the proportion of care worked out under step 4 by the applicable period of time worked out under step 5.
           Step 7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 in respect of each further change to the basis for the calculation of the proportion of care in relation to the residential care service in the relevant year.
           Step 8. Add the amount worked out under step 3 to any amount or amounts worked out under step 6.
      The result is the specified proportion of respite care for the approved provider of a residential care service for the relevant year.

 (a) commences on the first day of the relevant year or the first day on which the basis for the calculation of the proportion of care changed (as applicable); and
 (b) ends on the last day of the relevant year or the last day before the day on which the basis for the calculation of the proportion of care changed (as applicable).
