Issue - meetings

          The Board considered a report of the Executive Director – Adult Services, that sought approval to enter into consultation with care providers in relation to the annual uplift for 2026/27. The approach to setting fees and agreeing to appropriate uplifts included consulting with all stakeholders and reassuring them that arrangements for determining fees and uplifts were robust. The approach also allowed for uplifts to be considered on an annual basis with consideration given to changes, business costs and the conditions faced by providers.

          RESOLVED: That approval be given to actively enter into consultation with care providers in relation to the annual uplift for 2026/27.
