Consultation process
Consultation
discussions have taken place with domiciliary care, direct payments, supported
living and care home providers within Halton. As part of this consultation, all
care providers received a questionnaire and were requested to feedback on any
increases they had identified in relation to indirect and direct staffing costs
and describe any legitimate current and future costs. They were also asked to consider whether
there had been any opportunities to reduce costs and compliance with the real
living wage.
