Changes to care charges consultation extended

Brent Council is proposing to change the charges for day care, re-enablement care and extra care sheltered schemes and invites your comments and this public consultation period has now been extended to 19 March 2009.

The three changes proposed are:

• to introduce a charge for day care of £3.75 per day (or part of a day) currently there is no charge for day care or transport
• to charge for re-enablement care on the same basis as homecare (currently £16.65 per hour)
• to increase the charge for care in extra care sheltered schemes to £116.55 per week (from £39.50 per week now)

For full details of the proposal please pick up a copy of the booklet called 'Proposed changes to charges for day care, re-enablement care and extra care sheltered care' at any One Stop Service location. 

Please see full details  please see the care charges consultation leaflet which also contains the questionnaire.
