Freedom of information response
Fair Cost of Care reports
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information regarding Fair Cost of Care reports completed by local authorities.
I would like to request an Excel spreadsheet presenting Annex B of the Fair Cost of Care report for 65+ care home placements.
In Annex B, the Fair Cost of Care reports should present one table for the costs of each of four home types:
- 65+ care home places without nursing
- 65+ care home places without nursing, enhanced needs
- 65+ care home places with nursing
- 65+ care home places with nursing, enhanced needs
Annex B should present the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile for every item.
Where possible, please kindly include responses on the attached Excel spreadsheet.
Please see appendix A attached
