9 Annual Residential/Nursing and Home Care Fee Setting 2020/21 (AC&H2) PDF 173 KB
To consider a report of the Cabinet Member for Adult Care and Health.
This report outlines the commissioning proposals and 2020/21 fee setting for the most significant areas of externally commissioned service provision for adults with care needs: Care Homes in Stockport; Home Support to enable people to live in their homes for longer; Day Care Services and Learning Disability Services.
The report is designed to be considered in the context of budget setting proposals and is intended to clarify the fee changes position for 2019/20 to allow for early implementation at the start of the financial year. This will provide financial certainty to the market and support care providers with their cash flow. It will also prevent internal inefficiency caused by the need to make back payments as well as conforming to good commissioning and procurement practices.
The Cabinet is recommended to endorse and agree the approach set out in this paper and to give approval to the proposed fee uplifts.
