Purpose

The minister of State for Health and Social
Care has issued funding under the CQC Assurance Grant to support
Local Authorities in the expenditure incurred by engagement with
the new CQC
review and assessment. Each local authority has been issued with a
flat one off grant amount totalling £26,730.
There are no conditions on the grant and no restrictions on use,
therefore, it is proposed that the funding in Doncaster is used to
support additional expenditure incurred linked directly to
CQC
assurance, for example:
• Expenditure from the CQC Inspectors visits including room
bookings, refreshments etc
• Expenditure from overtime costs for officers to undertake
tasks directly linked to the CQC assurance visits
• Expenditure for payments to support people with lived
experience to attend events or interviews directly linked to the
CQC assurance
The funding will be recorded as income against an expenditure code
where spend can be monitored to ensure if future reporting is
required the information is readily available.
