LCA Briefing  

"Matching Resources to Needs"
Provider fees, the social care market and meeting needs in Lancashire

New information will appear here shortly for LCA members, customers and commissioners, and also County Councillors. This will update briefing information below from January this year. The information here will link with the work programme for the Social Care Partnership which will see the SCP work with Laing and Buisson, and with IPC at Oxford Brookes, to work together in 2012 on A) revisiting the L&B model on fees and the banding process, B) explore the possibility of developing dependency measures to augment that model, and C) work towards better market intelligence and partnership approaches to social care market development.

Notices about updates will appear as items and links in LCA's fortnightly e-letter.
