Savings 2016-17 Financial Contribution to Non Residential Care Services

Savings 2016-17 Financial Contribution to Non Residential Care Services | South Lanarkshire Council
TitleSavings 2016-17 Financial Contribution to Non Residential Care Services
Council ResourceSocial Work
Service AreaSocial Work
Aims and ObjectivesIncrease the percentage taper applied to non-residential care services by 5% from 55% to 60%. Increasing the taper
to 60% will bring South Lanarkshire more in line with the taper applied by other Local Authorities. There are currently 8
other Councils that have a percentage taper of 60% or above applied to non-residential care services.
ConclusionThe percentage increase in the taper from 55% to 60% will be applied to all service users consistently. The charging
policy is based on ability to pay. The maximum impact on service users will be capped at £8 per week. Every service
user will be advised that they can request a review of their contribution towards their care services. A review will be
undertaken. Where appropriate, the Executive Director (Social Work Resources) can waive or abate a charge on the grounds of financial hardship.
