The Committee considered a report which advised that an audit of adult residential care charging was completed in November 2019 and as part of the actions arising from the audit, the Care Charging Policy was updated. The Committee were asked to approve the amended Policy as submitted.
Decision
The Committee approved the update Policy, recognising the substantial level of regulation which applies to charging for residential care and the extremely limited scope for local variation.
