Minutes:

Councillors John Ungar and David Elkin spoke on item 4 (minute 11).

 

11.1     The Lead Member for Adult Social Care considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care & Health regarding the consultation in relation to charging for the Learning Disability Community Support Service.

11.2     The Lead Member for Adult Social Care RESOLVED to:

1) note the feedback that had been received as part of the consultation process which sought comments and views about whether the Council should charge for the Learning Disability Community Support Service; and

2) introduce charges for the Learning Disability Community Support Service from 1 July 2016.

Reason

Under the “Charging for Care and Support Policy”, which outlines government legislation and guidance about how care charges should be determined, the service should be chargeable, so the key reasons for the change are that it is fair and equitable under the charging policy.
