Care Home Fees Letter (2024-2025) - North Somerset Providers
Dear Provider,
Re: North Somerset Uplift for 2024/25
The Council has considered the ongoing challenges relating to residual inflation and the changes to the National Living wage, when setting our standard fee uplifts for 2024/25. With this in mind, we have taken the decision to advance the award, which will take effect from 1st February 2024.
Please note that we are waiting for confirmation from Health that the uplift will also apply to Health placements. In the meantime, the uplift will be applied to only North Somerset Council funded placements.
This letter is official confirmation of the Council’s offer following a recent consultation with the residential and nursing home associations.
We recognise that the economic condition for Commissioners and Providers is incredibly challenging but consider the offer by the Council to be reasonable and realistic. These are difficult financial times for providers and commissioners and your continued dedication and support to our community is greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Gerald Hunt
Assistant Director Commissioning, Partnerships & Housing
