We want them to be secure with their family unit and supported before that point. We\u2019re committed as a council we have got work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khan defended the service, which appoints nurses and both clinical and educational psychologists in house, stating: \u201cThe whole principles behind it was to not make people go to two services, we\u2019ll come to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She insisted it was an improvement traditional care services where people visit their GP directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sets them up to fail.
