Dear Kathleen Smitheram,

I’m afraid you have not read my question correctly.

My question was if CDHB provides funding to *reduce* the cost of home visits. You have answered that CDHB does not provide funding for *free* home visits. These two things are not equivalent. Can you please re-check?

Yours sincerely,

Cody C
