Task 1.2 - Evaluate available development support and resources and their constraints.
The above task illustrates certain developments which have to be made within Eclipse
HomeCare as this will aid them to improvise ways in which they deliver their services to their
patients or those who require their services. An instance can be taken to understand this aspect
like communication skills plays a critical role ways in which services are being delivered like if
some employee do not have knowledge of how a diabetic patient can be handled means what
they can be served or what medicines may create allergies in them (Conger and Riggio, 2012).

that will lead them to provide individuals with adequate services.
