Issue details

On the 29th January 2021, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) provided guidance for the Workforce Capacity Fund for adult social care. This fund has been put in place following the government commitment in September 2020 to support local authorities and social care providers to maintain safe staffing levels over the winter period and to continue working with the care sector to ensure there is sufficient workforce capacity across services.

The Workforce Capacity Fund was subject to a Mayor’s rule 16 decision dated 23rd February 2021, which approved the recommendation to allocate up to £573.593 to the Registered Adult Social Care providers in Doncaster following an expression of interest process completed on the 10th February 2021.
