To agree and approve the Market Sustainability
Plan for Care homes for people age 65+ and for Domiciliary care for
people age 18+ for publication on the North Yorkshire County
Council website no later than 27 March 2023.
It was agreed to publish the Final Market
Sustainability Plan (MSP). Completion of the MSP is a condition of
the Market Sustainability and Improvement Funding Grant.
The purpose of the market sustainability plan
is for local authorities to assess and demonstrate how they will
ensure local care markets are sustainable, as they move towards
implementing reform.
The plan will assess the impact current fee rates are having on the
market and the potential future risks (particularly in the context
of adult social care reform). This assessment will enable local
authorities to inform the development of mitigating actions,
including how much they will need to increase fee rates over the
three-year Spending Review period.
The completion and publication of a Market Sustainability Plan was
a condition of the Fair Cost of Care and Market Sustainability
Fund, and remains a condition of any future funding, including the
new Market Sustainability and Improvement Funding Grant.
The market sustainability plan needs to take into account the
results from the cost of care exercises, considers the impact of
future market changes over the next three years, particularly in
the context of adult social care reform and sets out an outline
action plan for addressing the issues identified and the priorities
for market sustainability investment.
If the Council agrees an annual inflationary uplift prior to
publishing the MSP, the document will be updated to reflect
this.
