II INCREASE IN CARE PACKAGE WHICH EXCEEDS THE APPROVED NATIONAL CARE HOME RATE

 

There was submitted Report No 162-2014 by the Director of Social Work requesting authorisation for an increase in support hours for one service user due to the deterioration in the health of one of their primary carers (family member) as this had impacted on the carers ability to continue to provide personal care support.
