Review of
Fees for Residential/Nursing Care Homes
DECISION
|
Reason for Decision
|
·
That an inflationary increase of 1.255%
for 2015/16 is implemented for care homes that have not completed
the open book process during this financial year.
·
That the Portfolio Holder for Adult
Social Care agrees that no inflationary uplift is approved
retrospectively for 2014/15 in light of all providers having had an
option to use the open book approach.
·
It is noted that measures are in place
in liaison with the Care Home Provider Forum to consider 2016/17
projected costs, and a further fees report will be presented in
March 2016 in relation to 2016/17 fee levels.
|
- To establish the final fees for
2015/16.
- To deal with exceptional circumstances where use
of the agreed contract rates may operate against the interests of
individual citizens or the Council.
- To advise the Portfolio Holder of measures
underway to review 2016/17 Care Home fee levels.
