As part of the government’s adult social
care reform agenda, all local authorities are required to complete
a fair cost of care exercise to arrive at a shared understanding
with providers of the local cost of providing care. In addition,
authorities are required to publish a Market Sustainability Plan
detailing how they plan to move towards a fair cost of care (where
this is not already being paid) over the next three years. This is
a report on Stockport’s fair cost of care exercise with the
mandated Fair Cost of Care Report and Market Sustainability Plan
which is required to be published on the Council’s website by
14 October 2022.
The Cabinet is recommended to note the contents of Fair Cost of Care Report and Provisional Stockport MBC Market Sustainability Plan and agreed the publication of the Fair Cost of Care Report for the general public on the Council’s website as required by the Department of Health and Social Care.
