I PURCHASE OF PLACEMENT WHICH EXCEEDS THE APPROVED NATIONAL CARE HOME RATE

There was submitted Report No 336-2011 by the Director of Social Work requesting approval to continue to fund ongoing services required to support one service user at an external placement outwith Dundee, whilst he went through the transition from Children's Services into Adult Services.

The Sub-Committee agreed funding for up to a year, to facilitate the service user remaining at that external placement, whilst plans were put in place for him to move back to Dundee.
