The report of the Head of Adults’ Service seeking the Executive’s approval to set the level of the Authority’s Standard Charge for local authority care homes for the year April, 2023 to March, 2024 was presented for consideration.
Councillor Alun Roberts, Portfolio Member for Adults’ Services reported that Local Authorities are required under Section 22 of the National Assistance Act 1948, to set the Standard Charge for their homes. He referred to the basis for calculating the Standard Charge as outlined in the table within the report which showed the estimated cost per resident per week for the year to 31 March 2024 to be £863.30. The recommendation is that the full cost of the service is charged which is £863.30.
The Head of Adults’ Services advised that the inflationary increase of 7.71% is less than that allowed for independent sector providers.
It was resolved that the full cost of the service is charged which is £863.30 per week.
