Purpose

Providers within Adult Social Care have seen
significant cost pressures from the increase in National Living
Wage and cost of living increases.
Fee uplifts have been completed across Adult Social Care and the
Shared Lives Contract is at a level of 6.7% in line with inflation
as at September 2023.
Should an uplift not be applied to the Shared Lives contract then
there is a likely impact to the delivery of the service and the
potential destabilising effect on the provision of services to the
individuals supported by the Shared Lives service.
The budget for 24/25 was set allowing for an inflationary uplift of
6.7% and therefore the fee uplift recommended is in line with the
budget available.
