Purpose

To increase the monetary limit that Team
Leaders and Advanced Practitioners would be able to
authorise on Mosaic.
The current agreed limit is £35,000 regardless of whether the
care package requires one or two carers to meet a person’s
outcomes, which was agreed in 2021, in line with the Mosaic Go Live
date. Since this time there have been three fee uplifts to all
commissioned services.
In 2021 it was determined that the agreed limit would support the
service to gain the right balance around how many support plans
required approval above the Team Managers’ level, 2
versus the levels of scrutiny that were required. It was also
agreed that this level was proportionate and that if the limit was
set any lower then this would result in too many approvals
requiring Head of Service authorisation.
Due to the fee uplifts since 2021, the proposed limit of
£49,000 for 2024/25 would allow some flexibility over and
above a standard residential placement, which at the time would
have cost
roughly £41,000. The new proposed limit of £49,000
would maintain this flexibility against the current standard annual
residential placement cost of £41,000.
