Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking views on how non-residential adult social care services should be charged for.
The ruling Conservative group are planning changes to Adult social care with the introduction of Personal Budgets, so they say the policy on charging needs to change. The draft Fairer Charging Policy includes proposals to change how Meals on Wheels, carers" services and transport to day centres are charged for. There are also a number of proposed changes to the financial assessment process.
Councillor Susan Goodchild, a member of the opposition Liberal Democrat group said, “ I would like to hear the views of residents, people receiving social care support, carers and people working in social care and health. These views are all important as the Fairer Charging Policy will affect different people in different ways. I would like as many people as possible to get involved, and have their say and help shape our future policy.”
