Decision details
Fees for in-house community care services 2025/26
Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Health and Adult Services
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve the proposed changes in fees and
charges for in-house community care services, plus meals, transport
and laundry services for 2025/26
Decision:
Approval has been given for the proposed
changes in fees and charges that individuals pay towards the costs
of NYC care services, plus meals, transport and laundry services
for 2025/26.
Reasons for the decision:
The changes will help the council to recover
inflationary cost rises in adult social care where
appropriate.
Alternative options considered:
The option of not increasing charges has been
discounted as this would be inconsistent with the cost increases
paid to providers and would mean that the council incurred more of
that cost. No increase would also be inconsistent with the
Council’s Fees and Charges Strategy.
