Regina (Whapples) v Birmingham Crosscity Clinical Commissioning Group (Secretary of State for Health intervening) [2014] EWHC 2647 (Admin);  [2014] WLR (D)  347

‘When considering the provision of accommodation under section 3(1) of the National Health Service Act 2006 it would usually be difficult to say, absent special circumstances, that a clinical commissioning group had acted lawfully or irrationally in deciding that the accommodation needs of an individual could and should be met through other avenues involving means-tested state provision, and not out of its own NHS budget.’
