Fee Setting - Independent Sector Residential and Nursing Care 2012-13
Minutes:
The Director of Health and Wellbeing submitted a report proposing an increase in fees to Independent Sector Residential and Nursing Care Providers for 2012/13.
In order to mitigate the financial pressure on the Council, it had been necessary to review the inflation clause in the contract with independent sector residential care providers. Consultation had commenced in September on determining a more affordable baseline uplift for 2012/13.
The proposed increase would continue to demonstrate the Council’s strategic objective to secure the long term sustainability and viability of the Independent Sector Care Market in Rotherham.
Resolved:- That the fee for Residential and Nursing Care Homes be increased, as now set out in the report attached, with effect from April, 2012.
