No declarations of interest were made.

II PROVISION OF A CARE PACKAGE WHICH EXCEEDS THE APPROVED NATIONAL CARE HOME RATE

There was submitted Report No 159-2015 by the Director of Social Work requesting authorisation for an increase in Direct Payment hours for Social Care Support due to the deterioration in the health of a service user, which was directly attributed to the progressive nature of her long-term health condition.

The Sub-Committee agreed to approve the additional funding for the provision of the identified additional hours of support as detailed in paragraph 3.1 of the report.

Ken LYNN, Convener.
