In response to Government guidance and to plan the use of additional funds made available to ensure care market resilience during the current public health emergency it is proposed that additional funds be made available to domiciliary and other care providers to enable them to meet additional costs and uncertainties for a limited period.
It is proposed that a simple across the board approach is taken rather than one tailored to the needs of individual suppliers in order to achieve a timely response and to avoid administrative burdens. It is also proposed that the arrangements are limited to three months and subject to conditions. Any longer-term proposals would be subject to further decision.
