Approved new increase fees and charges as outlined in tables 1 and 2 for in-house community care services, plus meals, transport and laundry services for 2019/20 effective from 9 April 2019.

*PLEASE NOTE This decision was originally published on or near the date of the decision and so call in no longer applies. It has been re-published as part of the change in committee management system that we use.*

The fee uplift is an annual increase and implementation of the new charges will coincide with the benefit uplift awarded by DWP (9 April 2019 for 2019/20). The new rates for services which are not subject to means tested financial assessment are outlined in table 1.
