The Director of Adult Social Services approved the recommendations from the outcome of the 2016 residential and nursing fee review and authorised payment of new fee structure shown in Appendix 1 for the period from the 20th December 2015 to the 31st March 2016.
The Director of Adult Social Services approved the recommended increase in the fee to cover the cost of the implementation of the new national living wage from the 1st April 2016 and authorise payment of new fee structure shown in Appendix 2 for the period from the 1st April 2016 to the 19th December 2016.
The Head of Contracts and Finance Manager Adult Social Care will implement this decision directly after it has been taken, subject to the necessary clearance process being completed, by issuing relevant letters to the organisations informing them of the increase and making the backdated payments for the new fees to all relevant care homes within the Leeds City boundary.
