The authority is raising concerns directly with the Government
New Government reforms into the cost of adult social care are expected to leave Nottinghamshire County Council with a budget black hole of almost £33 million.
Analysis by the UK Care Home Association suggests the rate for care should increase by between 17.5 and 19 per cent, equating to £23.50 per hour for care services. However, the authority expects to receive just £8.82m from the Government in supported grants, leaving what the council describes as a “significant shortfall” of £32.75m.
She said: “There is a risk that the two main policy objectives of the Fair Cost of Care cannot be realised in full within the budget envelope and the timetable set out in the Department of Health and Social Care policy paper. Councillor Matt Barney , portfolio holder for adult social care, has also raised concerns about his own Government’s social care reforms.
The £86,000 means-tested spend cap on care is also expected to cost East Midlands councils between £614m and £743m between now and 2032, the documents add.
