Issue - decisions

RESOLVED:             (i)         That the award of an additional 1% inflationary fee          increase to residential and nursing care providers in York, effective from the 1 October 2012, be      approved.

(ii)        That the commitment to undertake an exercise to consider the actual cost of care home fees, and the council’s commitment to give this “due regard” when setting fees for 2013-14 onwards, be noted.

REASON:                  To continue to stabilise the care home market within York, to recognise the consultation that remains ongoing and to recognise the cost pressures currently facing the sector.
