See attached Officer Decision Record for full details

Decision:

1. To increase the provider care fees as set out in the attached Officer Decision Record

The above increases for Supported Living rates will be implemented to financially assess client contributions.

Alternative options considered:

The option to not increase the fees was considered but was not recommended due to true unavoidable increasing provider costs being recognised.

Recommended option is to inflate the fees based on contracts, to take account of the National Living Wage and CPI inflation, and to continue to support our partners in delivering quality services.
