Decision:

It was resolved –

 

•           That whilst the Council acknowledges the costs incurred within residential care, the actual cost of delivery is not fully reflected in the charge to residents.

•           That in line with savings proposal made to remove the subsidy given to self-funders over the next three years, the increase for those contributing towards the cost of care is set at 3%, plus each user’s share of a third of the subsidy given to self-funders.

•           That the fee for 2019/20 is therefore set at £601.82 +3% + (⅓ x £132.70) = £664.11.
