14.0 | Notice of Motion |
Councillor J.M. Seymour will move, in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 11, the following Motion:
‘This Council notes the Government’s proposals in the Personal Care at Home Bill to offer free care at home to people with the highest needs. While this Council welcomes the general principle of enabling people to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, this Council is appalled that the Government is proposing to fund only a limited part of the costs and leave the rest to local authorities.
For all local councils in England, including Telford & Wrekin, assuming the government has got its sums right, this is an unfunded commitment of at least £250 million a year. For Telford & Wrekin initial modelling suggests that the costs for the 6 months from 1 October alone will be at least £900k of which at least a third will be unfunded. If the Scottish experience is repeated, the actual costs will be far higher and are likely to lead to cuts in front line services to others that are also in need.
This Council asks that its very grave concerns about having yet another unfunded mandate imposed upon it be communicated by the Leader of the Council to the relevant Minister.
The Motion will be seconded by Councillor R.G. Chaplin
