Date of consultation: November 2023 to January 2024 Number or responses: 425
Summary:
Charges for adult social care may change as a result of this consultation.
The Authority's charges have fallen out of step with the cost of delivering social care and this has been exacerbated in recent years by higher levels of inflation. This issue resulted in a consultation looking at proposed changes to charges paid by service users, whilst continuing to provide a good quality service to those who cannot meet the costs of their care.
There were 425 responses to the consultation on the proposed changes to the Contributions Policy for Adult Care and Support Services, with 96% of respondents confirming they received a good quality of care and service.
The subsequent report went to the Council's Cabinet on 29 January 2024. The recommendations proposed to Cabinet had two intended outcomes. Firstly, it would increase the amount of funding available in North Tyneside to provide social care services to those who cannot meet the costs of their care. Secondly, it would address some aspects of inequity which have been identified to ensure all people are treated the same, according to their financial assessment.
Cabinet agreed to implement the recommended changes.
