Decision details

In response to the requirements of the Care Act 2014, the Cabinet is asked to consider the responses to the recent consultation and approve the subsequently revised charging policy for Adult Social Care Services and the deferred payment policy

1.         That the new charging policy for Adult Social Care, set out at Annex 2 of the submitted report, be approved.

2.         That the Deferred Payment Policy and schedule of charges, set out at Annex 4 of the submitted report, be approved

 Reasons for Decisions:

The Council must revise its current Charging and Deferred Payment Policies to meet the requirements of the Care Act 2014. The proposed policies provide an open and transparent framework which will enable people to make informed decisions about how their care and support needs may be met.

The proposals do not significantly change charging for the majority of people currently receiving care and support.
