The Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund (‘the fund’) was announced at the autumn statement in November 2022. The primary purpose of the fund is to support local authorities to make tangible improvements to adult social care services in their area, in particular to build capacity and improve market sustainability, for care home fees, home care fees, and supported living services.
To assess whether improvement has been made on increasing fee rates beyond planned rises, local authorities must include their local average fee rates in the initial and final 2023 to 2024 reports to be shared with DHSC in May 2023 and May 2024.
Please find the below table, representing local authority reporting’s of average home care fees for 2022 to 2023, 2023 to 2024.
