Council.
That the Cabinet Member approves the distribution of the Market Sustainability and Fair Cost of Care Fund to care homes as an interim fee increase of 2.2% from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023.
The funds have to be allocated in line with prescribed Grant conditions or the funds have to be retuned to Department of Health and Social Care at a time when there is anxiety in the health and social care system about sustainability of the Care Home market.
