s provided in this way it should not be means tested as it is being provided as part of a service rather than as financial support. 9.5. ASR 3.4 requires that, if respite care consists of the provision of accommodation, this must be accommodation provided by or on behalf of a local authority under 165 section 22 of the 1989 Act (accommodation of looked after children) or by a voluntary organisation under section 59 of that Act. Regulation 48 of the Care Planning, Placement and Case Review Regulations 2010 and guidance sets out how short break care is to be provided. People to whom adoption support services must be extended: ASR 4 9.6. ASR 4 sets out the persons to whom the local authority must extend adoption support services. That is not to say that every service must be supplied to each person in the category, rather that the local authority is obliged to ensure that these services can be made available if an assessment shows that they are needed. The following table sets out the services in respect of which each category of person has a right to an assessment of their needs. 9.7. Under section 3(3)(b) of the Act, local authorities have discretion to extend services to persons other than those to whom services must be extended. This means that, for example, services to prevent disruption could be provided to a non-agency adoptive child, and financial support could be provided if the local authority considered this appropriate. Securing the provision of services: section 3(4) of the Act and ASR 5 9.8. Section 3(4) of the Act enables the local authority to arrange for adoption support services to be provided by another body. This enables the local authority to delegate or contract out provision of these services to a third party who will provide services on its behalf.
