Fair Cost of Care Provider Workshop Report

The Fair Cost of Care (FCoC) process has been accepted by some care providers as an essential part of evidencing the true cost of providing adult social care (ASC) and rejected by others as another cost of care exercise which will see councils negotiate rates below the actual cost of provision. Providers felt the exercise didn’t accurately reflect the past or the future and asked Care England and the CPA to coordinate a paper to share their views with councils ahead of their FCoC Annex A, Cost of Care Report and Market Sustainability Plans being submitted to the DHSC. This report outlines the findings from 5 workshops with providers.
