Banded rates paid to care homes for residential and nursing care are mainly increased by approximately 2% with effect from 7 April 2008.

 

 

The relevant City/County PCT for the NHS funded nursing care contributions will pay payments direct to the care homes with effect from 1 April 2008.  This covers the £101 single band rate, the £139 transitionally protected high band rate and the £5.70 continence payment.

 

Leicester City Council will only pay the accommodation and personal care element of the total package cost and this is to rise from £348 to £355 per week from 07/04/2008.

 

The payment arrangements in respect of joint funded/continuing care placements will remain the same, as well as any arrangements for placing service users outside the City/County PCT areas, which will be subject to the arrangements as agreed with the relevant PCT at that time.
