171 Period for entry into accommodation bond agreement

(1) If: (a) an individual entered a residential care service or flexible care service (both within the meaning of the old Act) at any time in the period of 21 days that ended immediately before the transition time; and (b) immediately before the transition time, the individual was eligible under the old Act to enter into an accommodation bond agreement (within the meaning of the old Transitional Provisions Act); and (c) immediately before the transition time, the individual had not entered into such an accommodation bond agreement; then section 287‑20 of the new rules applies in relation to the individual as though a reference in that section to the individual’s start day for the home were a reference to the day the individual entered the residential care service or flexible service (subject to subsection (2)). (2) If, under subsection 57‑2(2) of the old Transitional Provisions Act, the time limit in paragraph 57‑2(1)(e) of that Act was extended, before the transition time, by a number (the relevant number) of days, then section 287‑20 of the new rules applies in relation to the individual as though: (a) a reference in that section to the individual’s start day for the home were a reference to the day the individual entered the residential care service or flexible service; and (b) a reference in that section to 21 were a reference to the number that is 21 plus the relevant number.
