| Fee / Charge | 2024/25 | 2025/26 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025/26 charges will equal the amount payable to providers for each service. Amounts are still subject to negotiation but are expected to increase from 2024/25 to reflect inflationary pressures. Please note that charges payable are dependent on financial assessment of service users. Anyone required to pay for services is entitled to a financial assessment of their income and savings. If they have insufficient means to pay the full cost charge they will receive the service at reduced or nil charge. | ||||
